Trying to forget all the things I remember
It's never easy to do
Wearing the pain with a smile once again but
All I can think of is you

I wish I knew why my engine is bending
Somebody kick-start me now
Trying so hard but there's no use pretending
You're always there anyhow

Get the [bad word] out of my mind
Try to let me shine without you
Ten steps forward but back nine
Every time I see you
Get the [bad word] out of my dreams
Don't ever take no love for granted - for granted

Reaching tomorrow would be very clever
Who knows what I have in store
But reaching tomorrow could take me forever
When she doesn't care any more

Closing my eyes only makes me see faces
All with the likeness of you
Here's the beginning of my happy ending 
Something I want you to do

Get the [bad word] out of my mind
try to let me shine without you
Ten steps forward but back nine
Every time I see you
Get the [bad word] out of my dreams
Don't ever take no love for granted - for granted

So why don't you cry Nelly?
Why do you shine Nelly?
I Can't define it Nelly
Love is a peculiar thing.
