Lyrics

I CAN'T GET OVER YOU


Now I guess that I don't expect us to go out on that day that I spoke about
It's clear that you're still with another and I don't wish to be in your way at all
And so you leave me here all alone, knowing that that's what I chose, to be out on my own
I left my situation to be sure that you could see I was here for you and totally free
And now I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Someone tell me what to do, I can't get over you

Remember back when we had just met, oh how good feelings get when I think of then
And now I want a chance to explore this just to see if there's more to this than being friends
And still you leave me here all alone knowing that's what I chose to be out on my own
I left my situation to see, what about you and me? what could that really be?
And now I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Someone tell me what to do, I can't get over you

I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Someone tell me what to do
I can't get over you
