[Intro]
Ah
[Verse 1]
Does she dress in cool clothes? Did you meet in Paris?
Bet she's beautiful and perfect, everything I'm not
Wish that I could find out all your little secrets
Talking like a psychopath, I know I gotta stop (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Head against the wall
I've been here before
I can't let you go
[Chorus]
It's hard, but it's true
I can't stop myself from thinking 'bout you (Ah)
It's hard, but it's true (Ah)
I can't stop myself from thinking 'bout you ('Bout you)
But you're thinking 'bout someone new (Ah)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
But you're thinking 'bout someone new
[Verse 2]
In New York, 3 AM, I'm sleepless
It's like I can't escape your face, I see you everywhere
You're standing in the spotlight, it's like you're on the TV
I'm checking every window I walk past in case you're there (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Head against the wall
I've been here before
I can't let you go
[Chorus]
It's hard, but it's true
I can't stop myself from thinking 'bout you (Ah)
It's hard, but it's true (Ah)
I can't stop myself from thinking 'bout you ('Bout you)
But you're thinking 'bout someone new (Ah)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
But you're thinking 'bout someone new
[Bridge]
I still wear your t-shirt in my bed, ooh
I try so hard, but I just can't forget
It's hard, but it's true
I can't stop myself from thinking 'bout you
[Chorus]
It's hard, but it's true
I can't stop myself from thinking 'bout you ('Bout you, ah)
It's hard, but it's true (Ah)
I can't stop myself from thinking 'bout you ('Bout you)
But you're thinking 'bout someone new
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
But you're thinking 'bout someone new
