i've been fightin' with these sheets again

can't make myself lie still

my pillowcase is soakin' wet

and yet l feel a chill

it takes all i can do these days

to just survive the nights

it gets crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind



when a man can't shake a memory

he runs hot and cold and blind

he hates her, then he loves her

then he hates her one more time

your love has such a grip on me

it chokes me like a vine

oh, it's crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind



i've been phonin' you since eight o'clock

it's almost four a.m.

my mind keeps paintin' pictures

of you out lovin' him

i just crushed a dixie cup

for runnin' out of wine

it gets crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind



when a man can't shake a memory

he runs hot and cold and blind

he hates her, then he loves her

then he hates her one more time

your love has such a grip on me

it chokes me like a vine

oh, it's crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind



yeah, it drives him crazy when a man can't get a woman off his mind
