It took five women to getcha off of my mind It took five months, a plenty good wasted time But it just took five minutes when I saw your face again To fall in love all over, I guess with you I'll never win March was a cold one in more ways than one Went down to the nightclub lookin' for the sun Lookin' for a light that could brighten up a day That's been darker than a hole since you went away April usually brings showers This time it was a hurtin' kind This woman said she wanted my baby I told her I'd have to be deaf, dumb, and blind To fall in love with someone that I barely knew The baby would never really have a father Cause I still, 'cause I still, 'cause I still, still, still, huh Be stuck on you It took five women to getcha off of my mind Get off my mind, baby Fallin' in love all over...you I'll never win May was her name, she was jumpin' Jumpin' from plane to plane Actress or model or somethin' Can't even remember her first name June brought an Easter bunny Needless to say, hmph, that girl was late Told a made-up story to a busy-body of our only date What a sketch! July was a heartbreak, extraordinary Said I met this woman whose kiss was somethin' scary It felt so much, so much like yours But it only made me, made me want you more She's gone, she's gone but you're still here I want you very...huh, it's you I fear But it took five women to get you off my mind It took five months, five months, a plenty good wasted time But it just took five minutes and I saw your face again I fell in love all over with you, I guess I'll never win (I'll never win)
