Redferrin - Happens Every Time

(Swear it happens every time) (I swear it happens every time) (Swear it happens every time)

Been runnin' down bright lights Burnin' down a borrowed guitar Singin' broken- hearted country songs It's the same old story Lettin' that drag talk for me I regret it in the mornin' But right now, I don't

Oh, check the phone one more time Just a- hopin' that you'll ring it, baby But you don't Yeah, so I end up crossin' lines Tryin' to find someone to love me 'cause you won't

It happens every time I go try bein' mean to you as someone new Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime To keep on lyin' all the time like I ain't stuck on you No, 'cause it just ain't true You know that's somethin' I say You know that's somethin' I do To get me through it when I'm missin' you It happens every time Swear it happens every time

Yeah, we had a two- lane town In the palm of our hands Couple Lynchburg lovers, but we let it go Should be rockin' on a poor swing But I run from a short thing Faster than a Mississippi River flows, oh Yeah, you think I learned my lesson Then quit messin' with fire But I just light another smoke I'll say it, "Done after this" 'Til I get drinkin' again I swear it happens every time I go try bein' mean to you as someone new

Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime To keep on lyin' all the time like I ain't stuck on you No, 'cause it just ain't true You know that's somethin' I say You know that's somethin' I do To get me through it when I'm missin' you It happens every time Swear it happens every time (swear it happens)

I love you, then I leave you Act like I don't need you, baby I know that I can't keep you Ain't no way to treat you, baby I keep stringin' you along Just hopin' maybe I could change somehow But it never works, oh I swear it happens every time I go try bein' mean to you as someone new

Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime To keep on lyin' all the time like I ain't stuck on you No, 'cause it just ain't true You know that's somethin' I say You know that's somethin' I do To get me through it when I'm missin' you It happens every time Swear it happens every time (swear it happens every time) Yeah
