I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire
To that old flame that burns inside of me
She cried when I left her, now I try to forget her
Oh how foolish I was to ever wanna leave

Chorus:
Because nobody in his right mind would've left her
I had to be crazy to say good bye
Nobody in his right mind could've left her
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind

I still carry her picture
I wish her well with the new love I know she's found by now
Each night finds me dreamin', each day I spend thinkin'
How much I wish she was still around

Chorus

Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind
