Memories of her face they just keep
Playing like a drum inside my head
Baby will you make it stop

And I feel so separated from the truth
And everything she ever said
Could it all be for nothing

[Chorus:]
Ohh how could she say to me it's over
When we've just begun
I gotta find a way to tell her

Girl it's you it's been on my mind cause your been gone to long
Girl it's you I wish I could find to ask u what went wrong
Girl it's you and with u is where I know my heart belongs
Can't you see there's is only one for me
And girl that's you

Just is another chance is all I ask of you
Just to show you how I feel
Did I give you away too much

I kissed your lips I felt your hips
And what we did it felt so real
You couldn't say that it wasn't love

[Chorus]

Girl it's you it's been on my mind cause your been gone to long
Girl it's you I wish I could find to ask u what went wrong
Girl it's you and with u is where I know my heart belongs
Can't you see there's is only one for me
And girl that's you

Don't you wanna come back home
Tell me why should love only be a dream
I don't know I know you don't wanna be alone
Cause your the one and you should be with me

I've been thinking about it and baby girl

Girl it's you it's been on my mind cause your been gone to long
Girl it's you I wish I could find to ask u what went wrong
Girl it's you and with u is where I know my heart belongs

Can't you see there's is only one for me
And girl that's you (girl that's you)
There only one for me and girl that's you
