Lyrics:

a. I'll never get over you, no I'll never get over you; I just can't keep it a secret anymore, oh, no, no . . . .

b. It wasn't so long ago, that you told me you loved me so; then you went and said goodbye and found another guy, aye, aye, aye, aye.

c. I know, somewhere, someday, I'll find one love to take your place; One girl with an angel face. [But in the mean time.]
