Eternal Obsession

Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer/Mick Tino

Verse 1
Gina takes the Metro to the city
Checking herself in the compact mirror
She puts some lipstick on.
Just about a week ago when he called her on the phone.
He said ?hello?
(She caught her breath), it?s been a while, but I keep thinkin? of you?.
(Oh, no)!

Chorus
?I don?t want to hurt you but I,
I just can?t deny it.
I?ve buried my emotions its true
My heart doesn?t buy it
Round and round I?ve been
You?re my eternal obsession
I just want to see you again?.

Verse 2
Gina feels the train it rocks her body
Drifting away to so long ago
And every hour they shared.
Nothing left to lose
She?ll finally tell him how she feels.
So many thoughts, too many years
Her broken heart may never be mended
Oh no.

Chorus
I don?t want to hurt you but I,
I just can?t deny it.
I?ve buried my emotions its true
My heart doesn?t buy it
Round and round I?ve been
You?re my eternal obsession
I don?t want to lose you again, again.

Bridge
Again, I?m losing my perspective
Blinded by the pain inside
It?s worse than years ago.
Again, I?m torn in two directions
You tell me that you love me,
But you will not let her go.

Verse 3
Gina takes the train back from the city
She carries on but wonders how long
The wound will take to heal.
Knowing in her heart this love
Will never go away
Here comes the loneliness, the emptiness, the pain
White noise of unanswered questions
Over again.

Chorus
I don?t want to hurt you but I,
I just can?t deny it.
I?ve buried my emotions its true
My heart doesn?t buy it
Round and round I?ve been
You?re my eternal obsession
But I can?t do this again.
I don?t want to do this again.
