The kid down the street mowes the grass every week 
The neighbor next door fixed the roof where it leaked 
Job's going fine and the bills are all paid 
And everyone thinks that I'm doing OK 

There's a guy down at work 
He's asked me out once or twice 
I haven't said yes 
But I'm thinking I might 
And on my way home I thought I saw you walk by 
If only I could get you out of my mind 

What in the world am I gonna do about you 
Oh your memory keeps coming back 
From out of the blue 
Oh well I try 
And I try 
But I still can't believe that we're through 
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you 
What am I gonna do about you 

I went to the store 
But it wasn't much fun 
It doesn't take long when you're shopping for one 
Standing in line I thought I saw you walk in 
And that's when it started all over again 

What in the world am I gonna do about you 
Oh your memory keeps coming back 
From out of the blue 
Oh well I try 
And I try 
But I still can't believe that we're through 
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you 
What am I gonna do about you 
Darling what am I gonna do about you
