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
