Lyrics

I don’t know how I’ll get her off my mindBut give me time and I’ll think of somethingI can’t say today that I’m alrightBut by tonight I’ll think of something.
I’ll find so many things to doThat I won’t have the time to think of herAnd then if she’s still on my mindI’ll try to drink enough to drown the hurtAnd if that don’t work I’ll think of something.
Where do I go for love that I still needNow that I’m free I’ll think of somethingAnd if someday by accident we meetAnd I can’t speak I’ll think of something.
If I can’t say a word to herI’ll blame it on this lump that’s in my throatAnd standing there what will I doTo hide my love enough that it won’t showI don’t know but I’ll think of something.
Well, I don’t know.
I don’t know how I’ll get her off my mindBut give me time and I’ll think of something…
