Please don’t mention her name
I can’t hear it anymore
It used to be my favorite
No more
Not since she done did
What I hoped she never do
Our love went AWOL
It wasn’t me who said we’re through

I shake my head
I did my best
I even learned to bake
Me, a chef?
But our love no longer cooks
It’s on ice

If you see her
Tell her I’m not all right
Tell her she got me good
That’s right
Tell her I miss her
That’s everyday
I’m a tough guy
Just not today

So please don’t mention her name
It just hurts my soul
It takes all I have
To remain in control
