Here you come again Just when I've begun to get myself together You waltz right in the door Just like you've done before And wrap my heart 'round your little finger Here you come again Just when I'm about to make it work without you You look into my eyes and lie those pretty lies And pretty soon I'm wond'rin how I came to doubt you.
