Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh

'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
(Yeah) I can't shake it, no

I can't wait to see you
want to see if you still got that
Look in your eye
That one you had for me
Before we said our goodbyes
And it's a shame that we
Gotta spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same thing
Over and over again

Oh, but I think she's leavin'
Aw, man, she's leavin'
And I don't know what else to do
(Can't go on not lovin' you)

'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
(yeah) and I can't take it
(yeah) I can't shake it, no

I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath
You took right in front of me
When you said that you would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you
Or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keeps
Playin' in my head
Over and over again
It play in my head
Over and over again

Oh, I think she's leavin'
Aw, man, she's leavin'
And I don't know what else to do
(I Can't go on not lovin' you)

'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no

Now that I realize
That I'm going down
From all this pain you
Put me through
Every time I close my eyes (woo)
I lock it down
Oh, I can't go on not lovin' you

'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it

'Cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
And I can't keep
Picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad
Yeah, 'cause it's all in my head
I think about it
Over and over again
I replay it
Over and over again
And I can't take it
I can't shake it, no

Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, over and over again




Over and over again
'Cause it's all in my head
