"Every Time I Do" Lyrics

(Shawn Camp - Taylor Dunn)

Whenever I go out anywhere in town
I look for a crowd where you're not hangin' round
Say that I won't give your memory any room
But every time I do.

Just when I think I can take another's hand
Get on with my life won't look back again
Promise I won't keep comparin' them to you
But every time I do.

Every time I do I wish I didn't try
To tell myself but I just don't listen
It's a fool who just goes on missin'
What he can't have back he never learns his lesson.

I say I'll forget her oh but I know better
Don't I know by now we don't belong together
Shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do.

--- Instrumental ---

When I'm driving home you'd think that I'd have learned
Keep both hands on the wheel don't even make that turn
Swear that I won't go down Maple Avenue
But every time I do.

Every time I do I wish I didn't try
To tell myself but I just don't listen
It's a fool who just goes on missin'
What he can't have back he never learns his lesson.

No, I shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do...
