Lyrics
I’ve been fighting with these sheets again can’t make myself lie still
My pillowcase is soaking wet and yet I 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 phoning you since eight o’clock it’s almost four A.M.
My mind keeps painting pictures of you out loving him
I just crushed a Dixie cup for running out of wine
It gets crazy when a man can get a woman off his mind
Drives him crazy when a man can’t get his woman off his mind
