No matter who I'm dreaming with honey you start walking in my sleep

Then I wake up and startin' makin' up a lie why I should leave

Like an old time friend I squeeze her hand and I walk away unsatisfied

Another try another cry another hand shakin' goodbye

I laughed a lot with Mary Ann I cried with Melody

And Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee

I can't count the hearts I've stepped on because of loving her

Another try another cry another hand shakin' goodbye

[ piano ]

I laughed a lot...

Another try another cry another hand shakin' goodbye (have mercy baby)
