Late at night I call out your name Wishing you were here to erase the pain Thoughts of you still burn on my mind Guess I’m missing you after all this time
I try my best to be politely nonchalant When people speak of you but you’re the one I want Sure, I can play it off, pretend it’s not big deal But I can’t stop myself from feeling what I feel
I can’t tell my heart what to do After you’re gone it still beats for you I can’t tell my heart what to do I try to be strong but there’s just no use
Thought our love would always survive Any obstacle til I realized (til I realized) You had someone else on your mind You left me no choice but to say goodbye What made me think I could adjust to being free When I was used to you existing here with me (right here with me) I’m so confused because I’m longing for your touch When I know I should be resisting that old rush
I can’t tell my heart what to do After you’re gone it still beats for you Still beats for you, baby I can’t tell my heart what to do I try to be strong but there’s just no use But there ain’t no use
How I wish, baby That you were mine again (you were mine again) ‘Cause I’ve got so much love to send (to send) Baby, can’t you see you’re still a part me Your love won’t let me be I’m lost in you, it tortures me, baby
Baby, isn’t it a shame Said, that I, can’t tell it what to do
I can’t tell my heart what to do Said that I (still beats for you) baby, baby I can’t tell my heart what to do Said I’m, I’m tellin’ you I’m in love with you, baby I have no control, honey I can’t rule it, baby Ooo, it’s gonna do what it wants to do
