I’ve done my best to forget you
   Dumped your perfume down my drain
  
   My telephone is always in use, new day and bight
   You’ve got a weird conception of love
   Like a rocket, I am ready to fly
   Back lit so you can’t see their faces
  
   Your replacement is everywhere
   Brown bodies just a little too wide prance around
   O.K., let’s say my judgement was poor
   Give me one more chance
   And like a rocket, I will fly to your side
  
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
  
   In fact, I’ve done my very best to forget you
   And in fact, I failed
   And like a rocket, I will fly to your side
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
   The grass is greener on the other side
   That’s what some old guy said
   But I know that old guy must have lied
  
   Or he was out of his head
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
   You’ve got a hold of my heart
