She's nothin' but a woman just another pretty face
You can't find another girl just to take her place
No use a makin' a fool of yourself you can't find a somebody else
But honey it don't work that way and I'm just kiddin' myself when I say
I'll forget someday cause honey real love it don't work that way
[ ac.guitar ]
It looks mighty good this smile I wear actin' like I just don't care
If anybody mentions yesterday I'll just try to laugh it away
But honey it don't work...

I can walk around puttin' on there tellin' everybody that I don't care
But it's hard to hide the pain inside when a lonely heart is missin' you
And the love that we once knew

Cause I've tried to take the memory of all the love you gave to me
And put it off out of my heart so I can make a brand new start
But honey it don't work...
