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]
