Lyrics

Let’s sing along with the lyrics!

I can feel your bodyWhen I'm lying in my bedToo much confusionGoing 'round through my head
Makes me so angryTo know that the flame still burnsWhy can't I get over?When will I ever learn?
Old loveLeave me aloneOld loveGo on home
I can see your faceBut I know that it's not realJust an illusionCaused by how I used to feel
Makes me so angryTo know now that the flame will always burnNever get overKnow now that I'll never learn
Old loveLeave me aloneOld loveGo on home
Take me home, boys
Old loveLeave me aloneOld loveGo on home
