Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - Got to Get You off My Mind lyrics

(S. Burke/D. Burke/J. B. Moore)

It's a sad story, baby

Every word is true

Got to get you off my mind

I know it's just a matter of time

You found somebody new

And our romance is through

Now listen to me, baby

I'm gonna throw your picture away

You didn't want my love any old way

I know you found somebody new

And our romance is through

And that's why I say, baby

I got to get off my mind

I know it's just a matter of time

Took my love and my money too, baby

And our romance is through

But wait a minute, darling

Some folks love is hard and strong

Baby, that's the kind of love that lingers on

Some folks love, well, it's swift and fast

That's the kind of love that'll never last

We had love that was in between, yes we did

And to me it was like a dream

We had to stay together till June

And a problem brought us gloom

And that's why I say, baby

I got to get off my mind

I know it's just a matter of time

I know you found somebody new

And our romance is through

I thought at the start

That love would always stay

Yes, I did, baby

But now I opened up my eyes

I finally realized

I saw it slipping away

And that's why I say, baby

I got to get you off my mind

‘Cause I know it's just a matter of time

You found somebody new

And our romance is new

It's all over, baby

Our romance is through

Goodbye, darling

You broke my heart, baby

Yes you did
