I bet I know your day

Bet you left for work 'bout ten minutes late

You didn't even wear the dress I bought

Didn't eat at our favorite spot baby

You found a new place uum

So I'm sittin' here at the same time

Pickin' up the pieces you left behind

Oh now God know that I miss your face

Can't help but wonder what it takes baby

To get back in your life girl



How often do you think of me

How often do I enter your mind girl

Is there ever a time

How often do you cry for me

I cry for you like all the time

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind



Your mind, your mind



Girl what we had was so strong

That's why it lasted so long yeah

You couldn't find yourself a better man

That's why I just don't understand dear

Why you're not here girl



Hook



I've got to get back to you

The reasons are so clear

I know that I can't live without you

Now that you're not here

I'm savin' everything I got

I'm holdin' on to you

We were wrong to let things go

I need to know you still love me



Hook
