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,
Musta 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 hearing someone said,
"Those Vietnam vets are walking dead,
Their eyes are sunken in their heads."
Mine were always burning red...
Over You.

Over You,
Over You,
I spent a lot of lonely, sleepless nights.
Over You,
Over You,
Musta 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,
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 cried a lot of lonely, sleepless nights.
Over You,
Over You,
Musta 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 put me through,
There ain't no way that I'll get Over You.
