Lyrics:
Here you are standing there
Knocking on my door
Looking so good, I just can’t ignore
You wanted me to take you back
Start all over again
The hurt is so deep I know you’ll understand
Too many memories
And they’re just killing me
Too many memories
And they’re just killing me
You say you want to come in
Sit down and talk for awhile
Girl the sweet smell of your perfume
It’s still driving me wild
The closer you get, the longer you stay
Makes it harder and harder for me to stay away
You say that you still love me
And you want to start anew
Deep down in my heart, baby I do, too
Let me take your coat, put your suitcase on the floor
Cause I’m no longer afraid to let my feelings flow
Too many memories
Of how it used to be
Too many memories
When you belonged to me
