Can't help it if my eyes are crying
To see the sight of someone so untrue
Ooh, but ever since you said goodbye
I just can't get my eyes to look at someone new
Can't help it if my lips are longing
To taste your kiss that is so untrue
Darling, oh your kiss is so untrue
To my lips should be glad to get rid of you
But don't think it's me, oh no
I can do without you
Yes I can
It's only my lips that long and my eyes keep crying 'bout you
You know it's not my fault because my foolish heart
Won't let another love start
It loves you
What can I do?
I can't convince my lips and my eyes and my heart
That we're through
Can't help it if my ears are aching
To hear you say you love me just once more
Ooh, don't they know that if you do
Your words will be untrue
Just like they were before
Can't help it if my arms feel empty
No, they can't forget no matter how they try
Ooh, 'cause ever since you said goodbye
They've been as empty as
A well gone dry
But don't think it's me
I can make it all right
Yes I can
It's only my ears that ache
And my empty arms
That long to hold you tight
Ooh, don't think it's me
I can make it all right
Yes I can...
To see the sight of someone so untrue
Ooh, but ever since you said goodbye
I just can't get my eyes to look at someone new
Can't help it if my lips are longing
To taste your kiss that is so untrue
Darling, oh your kiss is so untrue
To my lips should be glad to get rid of you
But don't think it's me, oh no
I can do without you
Yes I can
It's only my lips that long and my eyes keep crying 'bout you
You know it's not my fault because my foolish heart
Won't let another love start
It loves you
What can I do?
I can't convince my lips and my eyes and my heart
That we're through
Can't help it if my ears are aching
To hear you say you love me just once more
Ooh, don't they know that if you do
Your words will be untrue
Just like they were before
Can't help it if my arms feel empty
No, they can't forget no matter how they try
Ooh, 'cause ever since you said goodbye
They've been as empty as
A well gone dry
But don't think it's me
I can make it all right
Yes I can
It's only my ears that ache
And my empty arms
That long to hold you tight
Ooh, don't think it's me
I can make it all right
Yes I can...
