When love is new, steady occupies your mind
When love gets older something happens over time
Maybe I’m jaded, maybe love like that is gone
Think about my past life how everything just turned out wrong

Try not to think about it

Once I got married a little child came with her mom
Tears my heart out to think I’d do that poor child wrong
Lord it’s a shame man, and it’s nobody’s fault but mine
It’s goddam crazy and I think about it all the time

I try not to think about it
Try not to think about it

Nobody’s waiting for you when you’re not around
It knocks your socks off how a memory will bring you down
Lord it’s the night life and daytime people just don’t know
Just how to stand there, when every night you got to go

Try not to think about it
