[Verse 1]
I've done my best to forget you
Dumped your perfume down my drain
My telephone is always in use, day and night

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You've got a weird conception of love
If you thought that was love
Like a rocket, I am ready to fly

[Verse 2]
Backlit so you can't see their faces
Your replacement here is everywhere
Brown bodies just a little too wide prance around

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Okay, let's say my judgment was poor
Give me one more chance
And like a rocket, I will fly to your side

[Chorus]
You got a hold of my heart
You got a hold of my heart
You got a hold of my heart

[Verse 3]
California makes it hard to be lonely
You're supposed to feel happiness here
So the days show the traces of tears in your eyes, oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I've done my very best to forget you
And in fact, I failed
And like a rocket, I will fly to your side

[Chorus]
You got a hold of my heart
You got a hold of my heart
You got a hold of my heart

[Bridge]
The grass is greener on the other side
That's what some old guy said
But I know that old guy must have lied
Or he was out of his head

[Chorus]
You got a hold of my heart
You got a hold of my heart
You got a hold, of my heart
You got a hold, of my heart
