I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire
  To that old flame that burns inside of me.
  She cried when I left her, now I cry to forget her.
  Oh, how foolish I was to ever want to leave.
    Chorus:
  'Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her.
  I had to be crazy to say goodbye.
  Nobody in his right mind would've left her.
  Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind.
    I still carry her picture; I wish her well
  With the new love I know she's found by now.
  Each night finds me dreamin', each day I spend thinkin'
  How much I wish she was still around.
    Repeat Chorus:
    Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind.
