Over You

Me and Tommy Thompson fought
Over somethin' dumb we both thought.
Mom found out, and we got caught.
What a lickin' we both got
Over You.
Down Jackson Street where the pavement ends,
Two mortal enemies, former friends;
I broke my arm down where it bends.
Who won the fight? Well, that depends...
It was Over You.
Over You,
Over You,
I cried a lot of lonely, sleepless nights.
Over You,
Over You,
Must've fought a million stupid fights.
I finally came to realize,
After broken fingers and blackened eyes,
And all the heartache that you put me through,
There ain't no way that I'll get Over You.
Off to college, off to war,
I did my patriotic chore,
Don't know what we were fightin' for,
But I came home changed, forevermore
Over You.
I remember hearin' someone said
Those Vietnam vets are walkin' dead,
Their eyes are sunken in their heads;
Mine were always burnin' red
Over You
Over You,
Over You,
I cried a lot of lonely, sleepless nights.
Over You,
Over You,
Must have fought a million stupid fights
I finally came to realize,
After broken fingers and blackened eyes,
And all the heartache that you put me through,
There ain't no way that I'll get Over You.
Well, I saw you at the hardware store,
Gettin' a new lock for our door,
Make my key not work no more,
I thought to myself, aw heck, what for?
I'm Over You.
Then it hit me, by surprise,
When I got to look you in the eyes...
You really cut me down to size,
My "Over You" was just a lie...
I'm not Over You.
Over You,
Over You,
I've cried a lot of lonely, sleepless nights.
Over You,
Over You,
Must've fought a million stupid fights.
I finally came to realize,
I've looked at you through loving eyes,
In spite of all the pain you've put me through,
There ain't no way that I'll get over you.
