IT COMES AND GOES

(Tell 'em that it comes and goes)

Everybody asks me if I still love you and if you're still on my mind

They ask me to tell 'em bout my broken heart I tell 'em that I'm feeling fine

I lie a little bit and I proudly say our book of love is closed

And your memory seldom bothers me and when it does it comes and goes

It comes and goes all right it comes every morning and it goes all night

I say with lotta pride and I haven't really lied

I just tell 'em that it comes and goes

(Tell 'em that it comes and goes)

Everybody asks me if I cried when you left and if I've cried for you since

They hope I have so they can all get together and laughin' up at my expense

So I lie a little bit and I proudly say not one teardrop flows

When there is a little pain it's not a constant pain it kinda just comes and goes

It comes and goes all right...

I tell 'em that it comes and goes
