I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire To that old flame that burns inside of me She cried when I left her now I try to forget her Oh how foolish I was to ever want to leave [Chorus] Because nobody in his right mind would've left her I had to be crazy to say good bye Nobody in his right mind could've left her Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind I still carry her picture I wish her well with the new love I know she's found by now Each night finds me dreamin' each day I spend thinkin' How much I wish she was still around [Chorus]
