  • Told my baby one more time
    Don't make me sit all alone and cry
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
    I'm like a fish out of water
    A cat in a tree

    You don't even want to talk to me
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
    He won't take me back when I come around

    Says he's sorry then he pulls me out
    I got a big chain around my neck
    And I'm broken down like a train wreck
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go

    See I got a candle and it burns so bright

    In my window every night
    Well it's over I know but I can't let go
    You don't like to see me standing around

    Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
    He won't take me back when I come around

    Says he's sorry then he pulls me out
    I got a big chain around my neck
    And I'm broken down like a train wreck
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go

    Turn off trouble like you turn off a light

    Went off and left me it just ain't right
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
    Round every corner something I see

    Bring me right back how it used to be
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go
    He won't take me back when I come around

    Says he's sorry then he pulls me out
    I got a big chain around my neck
    And I'm broken down like a train wreck
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go

    He won't take me back when I come around

    Says he's sorry then he pulls me out
    I got a big chain around my neck
    And I'm broken down like a train wreck
    Well it's over I know it but I can't let go

    It's over I know it but I can't let go
    It's over I know it but I can't let go
    It's over I know it but I can't let go Writer/s: Randall Weeks
