Didn’t think I’d see you back in our sleepy town
It’s the last place that I thought I’d see you now
Your long brown hair, your pretty smile and those bright green eyes
Brought back all those feelin’s that I tried so hard to hide
And I can’t get you off my mind
And I thought I’d be alright
But you caught me by surprise, and girl you know I tried
I can’t get you off my mind
You look nice, and married life seems to suit you fine
And I know I was lucky back when you were mine
I kept hopin’ you’d come back to me someday
But deep inside I’ve always known you were the one that got away
And I can’t get you off my mind
And I thought I’d be alright
And you’ve moved on I know, but my heart won’t let you go
And I can’t get you off my mind
(Instrumental break)
She touched my arm, she kissed my cheek as she said goodbye
And as she walked away, I got that feelin’ one more time
And I can’t get you off my mind
And I thought I’d be alright
It’s a love I can’t replace and a memory that won’t fade
I can’t get you off my mind
Well I can’t get you off my mind
No no, I can’t get you off my mind
No no, well I can’t get you off my mind
Oh yeah, oh yeah, mhmm
