A girl from Tennessee meets a boy that could be
The link to what has been missing
He was from the south and we knew all about
The art of loving and kissing
It was late one night, no one thought it was right
He left my life in disaster
Now those days are gone, but I'll keep holding on
Hoping to bring back the laughter
Since he went away to this very day
I still cry myself to sleep at night
Any fool should know that I can't let go
He's just angry 'cause we had a fight
He'll come back and things will turn out right
Just me and you
That's what I'm used to
The things that we do
That's what I'm used to
When they played our song, he would hum right along
We used to hum it together
I was seventeen when he came on the scene
I knew this love was forever
All the girls in town say that he put me down
They just don't know what they're saying
He'll be back in time when he makes up his mind
To put an end to this playing
Since he went away to this very day
I still cry myself to sleep at night
Any fool should know that I can't let go
He's just angry 'cause we had a fight
He'll come back and things will turn out right
[Chorus w/ ad-libs]
