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 feelings
That I’m trying so hard to hide
And I can’t get you off my mind
And I thought I’d be all right
But you caught me by surprise
And girl you know I tried
I can’t get you off my mind
You look nice, the married life seems to suit you fine
And I know I was lucky back when you were mine
I kept hoping that 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 all right
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 feeling one more time
And I can’t get you off my mind
And I thought I’d be all right
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, well I can’t get you off my mind
Oh no, well I can’t get you off my mind
