Everybody asks me if I still love you and if you're still on my mind
 They ask me to tell about my broken heart and I tell 'em that I'm feelin' fine
 so I lie a little bit and I proudly say our book of love is closed
 And your memory never bothers me and when it does it comes and goes

 It comes and goes all right it comes every morning and it goes all night
 I save a lotta pride and I haven't really lied
 I tell 'em that it comes and goes

 Everybody asks me if I cried when you left me and if I've cried for you since
 They ask me to tell so they can all get together and laugh it up at my expense
 So I lie a little bit and I proudly say not one teardrop flows
 If there is a little pain it's not a constant thing it kinda just comes and goes

 It comes and goes all right it comes every morning and it goes all night
 I save a lot of pride and I haven't really lied
 I tell 'em that it comes and goes.
