lyrics

There are days your minding you own business
Then the Gods decide to mess up everything
You find yourself at crowded feat
The last place you’d expect anything

Then a sudden feeling comes upon ya
Something felt a long time ago
Then you get a wiff of some perfume
And then the past comes thundering thru

You slowly pick up head
Hope you are imagining things
But then you see the back of her
There’s no mistaking who’s wearing those jeans

Your tongue goes dry and your spine turns cold
You have got to me kidding me
I wanted the worst to happen
I wanted her to turn around and look at me


Chorus
Turn around say you’ll look at me
Turn around say you’ll stare at me
Turn around say you’ll smile at me
Turn around say you remember me
All the years that have gonna bye
If she made a left instead of a right
Then I would be a different man
Better now than what I am
Instead of always dreaming yeah
Instead of always wishing of you in my life

I watch as she fumble through her purse
I wonder if there is a place to hide
But suddenly she looks on up
Staring at me in surprise

She takes a step towards me
I reciprocate and take one too
Man this is going to hurt like hell
How much damage is this gonna do


Chorus

What am I to do
You know I’ve been keeping myself clean and getting her out of my mind
You say I invited this D
But if it’s on me please don’t make it go away



Now it’s time for us to say good bye
I said I was late for some kind of thing
But me I try and drag it
It broke my heart to see you wear that wedding ring

Then the worst thing that could happen
The kind of thing that will hurt for many years
She kissed me on the cheek and said I really miss you
she left wiping away a tear

Now everything is just stone quite
I know tonight they’ll be a price to pay
But as she turned the corner
All I wanted to do was scream and say


Chorus
