Hey, why would she come back to Memphis again
Do to me now what she did to me then
She walked out on me
I just can't pretend

I can't start over again

So what was I thinking when she told me goodbye
I still can't remember
Why should I try
She took all I had
I'm no longer that guy

I can't start over again

You know my friends they all tell me they saw her in town
In my favorite place where we once hung around
I just can't fake it
I don't want to be found

I can't start over again

I know it sounds crazy, but how would you know
I thought I was over her a long time ago
I believe I could take it
But it's laying me low
I can't start over again

Why would she come back to Memphis again
And do to me now what she did to me then
She walked out on me
But I just can't pretend

I can't start over again

I believe I could take it
But it's laying me low
I can't start over again
I can't start over again
