Wrong Road Again.

I can’t seem to learn not to love you,
You get to me every time.
You’re someone I just can’t say no to,
And you’re so good at changing my mind.
Here I go down that wrong road again,
Going back where I’ve already been.
Even knowing where it will end,
Here I go down that wrong road again.
Though I see the web that you’re weaving,
You and your soft easy lines,
Before I stop to think I’m believing,
And I’m falling for you one more time.
Here I go down that wrong road again,
Going back where I’ve already been.
Even knowing where it will end,
Here I go down that wrong road again.
Here I go down that wrong road again.
Going back where I’ve already been,
Even knowing where it will end,
Here I go down that wrong road again.
Here I go down that wrong road again.
Going back where I’ve already been.

END.
