As I sit beside my window
and the rain begins to fall
There's a girl that I remember
and a love that I recall
Got a letter in my pocket
that I've read a hundred times
And Lord, it's burning a hole in my mind
Got to get myself together
Got to try to understand
That she's lost and gone forever
That she found another man
But every night I think about her
Lyin' by his side
Lord, it's burnin' oh -oh
In my mind
Oh, it's a -burnin', keeps on burnin',
burnin' all in my
mind
But every night I think about her
Lying by his side
Lord, it's burning up in my mind
Oh, it's a -burnin', keeps on burnin',
burnin' all in my mind
As I live each moment over
Of the love we used to know
Those old sparks begin to smolder
That old flame begins to grow
And the fire keeps getting hotter
A little at a time
Lord, it's burning up in my mind
Believe me, baby,
it's burning up in my mind
Believe me, brother,
it's burning up in my mind
Believe me, baby
It's burnin' up in my mind
Oh, believe me brother
It's burnin' up in my mind
