I'm Not Over You
Ce Ce Peniston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't believe it's over
It's hard to let you go
Cause I can't sleep at night
And that's one thing that I know
I'm not, not over you
I'm not, not over you
I don't why it's over
I don't know where to turn
I tried to let it go
And that's one thing that I know
I'm not, not over you
I'm not, not over you
CHORUS:
Tell me what can I do
When I know that we are through
Can't get you off my mind
Think about you all the time
I can't get over you
No matter what I do
I'm not, not over you
I know inside I gave it,
I gave it all I had
I did all I could do
And still it hurts me so bad
I'm not, not over you

Abb. Clare this was and still is my favorite song. I loved it from the first time I heard it. This was two weeks after my 7th birthday back in '94. I was exposed to BET and Video Soul at an early age.
