She told me sunday
baby it's over
we can't go on this way.
I really love you,
but I love him too.
She said take care, ok.
(Chorus)
Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.
I never really
thought that she'd leave her
whole home and family.
I've got my own life,
you've still got your wife,
she whispered tenderly.
(Chorus)
All throughout this troubled time.
times I've wish that you were mine,
spend my nights and days thinking of you.
Sometimes lie awake at night,
think of you and it's alright,
spend my nights and days thinking of you.
She told me sunday,
baby it's over
we can't go on this way.
I really love you
but I love him too.
She said take care, ok
