[Verse 1] It's a song, on the radio It's your picture on the wall in my bedroom It's any one, of a million memories Girl, everything takes me back but you [Verse 2] It's every place, that we've ever been It's runnin' into someone we both knew Or it's the face, of a total stranger Girl, everything takes me back but you [Chorus] I've called you up, I've begged and pleaded Left love letters at your door Though I broke your heart, you gotta believe It hurt me even more So what's it gonna take, what do you wanna hear Girl, I think I've paid my dues And it might be just, but it doesn't seem fair That everything takes me back but you [Verse 3] It's a sound, or it's the silence It's the thought that what I've done I can't undo Or it's the dream, I can't put behind me Girl, everything takes me back but you [Chorus] I've called you up, I've begged and pleaded Left love letters at your door Though I broke your heart, you gotta believe It hurt me even more So what's it gonna take, what do you wanna hear Girl, I think I've paid my dues And it might be just, but it just ain't fair That everything takes me back but you [Bridge] It's the night or it's the mornin' It's the thunder rollin' in, before it rains Or it's a long, long, long, long stretch of highway Girl, it's nothin', and it's everything, it's everything [Outro] Yeah, everything takes me back but you Girl, everything takes me back but you
