It Comes And Goes
Everybody asks if I still love you
And if you're still on my mind;
They ask me to tell 'em of my broken heart
And I tell 'em that I'm feeling fine...
I lie a little bit
And I proudly say
Our book on love is closed
And your memory never bothers me,
And when it does
It comes and goes....
It comes and goes allright -
Comes every morning and it goes all night
But I save a lot of pride,
And I haven't really lied
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes....
Everybody asks if I cried when you left me
And if I've cried for you since...
They hope perhaps one to all get together
And laugh it up at my expense...
So I lie a little bit,
And I proudly say
Not one teardrop flows...
When there is a little pain
It's not a contstant thing,
It kinda just comes and goes....
It comes and goes allright -
Comes every morning and it goes all night
But I save a lot of pride,
And I haven't really lied
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes....
