The minute that you said goodbye

I wasn't gonna sit and cry

I took out every pretty girl in town

They danced with me and as I held them

All I did was talk about you

Hear your name and I'd start to cry
CFBAm
There's just no getting over you... oh, no...
Verse 2:
There ain't no girl in my little red book
Who could ever replace your charms
And each girl in my little red book

Oh won't you please come back
Without your precious love I can't go on
Where can love be I need you so much

There's just no getting over you... oh no
