   I burn with desire  each time my  heart fans the fire
   Of that old flame that burns inside of  me
   She cried when I  left her, now I  cry to forget  her
 
 
   Oh, how foolish I was to ever wanna leave
 
   Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her
   I had to be  crazy to say goodbye
 
   Nobody in his right mind would've left her
 
 
   Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind
  I still carry her picture, I wish her well with that new love
  I know she's found by now
  Each night finds me dreaming, each day I spend thinking
  How much I wish she was still around
 
 
   Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind...

  NOBODY IN HIS RIGHT MIND WOULD'VE LEFT HER
  Slow
 
  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 CRY  TO FORGET  HER.
  OH  HOW I FOOLISH I WAS TO EVER WANT  TO LEAVE.
  'CAUSE  NOBODY IN HIS RIGHT  MIND WOULD'VE LEFT  HER.
  I  HAD TO BE CRAZY  TO SAY GOODBYE.
  NOBODY  IN HIS RIGHT  MIND WOULD'VE LEFT  HER.

  HOW  MUCH I WISH SHE WAS STILL  AROUND.
