Common sense tells me
"Kiss the girl goodbye"
Common sense tells me
"Leave it all behind"
Common sense says
"The girl's not worth my time"
But common sense ain't comin' when you come to mind

Common sense told me
"She was not worthwhile"
Common sense said
"Don't go the extra mile"
Common sense said
"Go back and reconcile"
But common sense forgot about her smile

Second chances are thought of to be weak
Second chances in volumes, do they speak
Second chances aren't given usually
But a second chance is all I really need

I think I love you
I want to love you
Please let me love you
I wish to show you how to love

Common sense tells me
"Kiss the girl goodbye"
Common sense tells me
"Leave it all behind"
Common sense says
"The girl's not worth my time"
But common sense ain't comin' when you come to mind
No, common sense ain't comin' when you come to mind
