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

It´s every place that we´ve ever been
It´s running into someone we both knew
Or it´s the face of a total stranger
Girl, everything takes me back but you

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 ya wanna hear Girl, I think I´ve paid my dues
And it might be just but it don´t seem fair that everything takes me back but you

It´s a sound or it´s the silence
It´s the thought of 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

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 ya wanna hear Girl, I think I´ve paid my dues
And it might be just but it don´t seem fair that everything takes me back but you

It´s the night or it´s the morning
It´s the thunder rolling in before it rains
Or it´s a long, long, long, long stretch of highway
Girl, it´s nothing and it´s everything, it´s everything

Everything takes me back but you
Girl, everything takes me back but you
