I try, lady, try, but the feeling's too strong.
 You stay on my mind.  Feel just like a fool.
 Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

 Why, lady, why? It was easy before.
 I try, lady, try, but it ain't easy no more.
 To be on my way would be the best thing to do.
 Why, lady, why, can't I get over you?

 Why, lady, why, can't I leave you alone?
 I try, lady, try, but the feeling's too strong.
 To be on my way would be the best thing to do.
 Why, lady, why, can't I get over you
