DI'm still trying to get through this song
And it's tEmake number 52
DBut I just keep thinking about you
EmLooking at that guy, looking at me in this booth
[Chorus]
Oh Dwhy'd this song have to come true
I'm sEmtanding here like a fool
DTrying to keep from choking up on tEmake number 52D  
[Verse]
DI sung it a hundred times before
I loEmved it so much, I couldn't sing it enough
Now I'm wDalking the floor over you
And I sEmee the color of the blues
But I'll sDtand here and sing
As I pick up my drink on tEmake number 52D  
[Chorus]
DOh why'd this song have to come true
I'm sEmtanding here like a fool
DTrying to keep from choking up on tEmake number 52D  
[Verse]
DWell I might get drunk and forget the words
Or just Emstand here and cry
Oh, but Ddon't stop the tape
DI can make it though another take
I sEmwear you can count on me
I'm gonna get it on Dtake number 53Em  
[Outro]
DOh why does this song have to be
Such a hEmard one about you and me
BmNext time I'll make it all Emup to you on Asustake numbA7er 5D3
Yeah, BmNext time I'll make it all Emup to you on Asustake numbA7er 5D3
