When a Man Can't Get a Woman Off His Mind

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
