The way I see it it’s no sin
The way I held you in the dark
It was the right way to begin
Tell me why can’t I forget about you

Stayed out drinking with my friends
Dancing with a girl or two
You know the story but the tale never ends
Tell me why can’t I forget about you

Why can’t I forget about you
Why can’t I forget about you
Why can’t I forget about you
Why can’t I forget about you

Leaving town just to forget
Many miles away from you
Nothing to go back to
Tell me why can’t I forget about you

Mosquitoes circling the pale porch light
They don’t know that it ain’t no use
When thoughts come running in the middle of the night
I can’t believe I’m loosing you

Tell me why can’t I forget about you
Why can’t I forget about you
Why can’t I forget about you
Why can’t I forget about you
Why can’t I forget about you
