every time i do

whenever i go out

anywhere in town

i look for a crowd

where you're not hangin' 'round

say that i won't give

your memory any room

but every time i do

just when i think i can

take another's hand

get on with my life

won't look back again

promise i won't keep

comparin' them to you

but every time i do

every time i do

i wish i didn't

try to tell myself

but i just don't listen

it's what he can't have back he never learns his lesson

i say i'll forget her

oh

but i know better

don't i know by now we don't belong together

shouldn't get the blues when i think of you

but every time i do

when i'm drivin' home

you'd think that i'd have learned

keep both hands on the wheel

don't even make that turn

swear that i won't go

down maple avenue

but every time i do

every time i do

i wish i didn't

try to tell myself

but i just don't listen

it's a fool who just goes on missin'

what he can't have back he never learns his lesson

i say i'll forget her

oh

but i know better

don't i know by now we don't belong together

shouldn't get the blues when i think of you

but every time i do

no

i shouldn't get the blues when i think of you

but every time i do
