Excerpts From: This One's Gonna 'Leave A Mark'/It Gets Me Every Time/I Don't Want This Song To End - John Michael Montgomery

[This One's Gonna 'Leave A Mark']

I've crashed and burned my old Firebird
And walked away without a scratch
And I've had my share of backwoods barroom brawls
Been kicked and cussed and busted up
But it was nothin' I couldn't patch
With a Band-Aid or a shot of alcohol

But this one's gonna leave a mark
One that time won't heal
Her good-bye cut like a knife
Right through this man of steel
Thought that I was tough enough
I could just shake it off
But even when I pretend it doesn't hurt at all
I know deep down in my heart
This one's gonna leave a mark

Lovers came and went but never made a dent
But none were quite like her
I was a fool to not beg her to stay
Filled with pride I just stood by
And never said one word
But I knew the moment that she walked away

This one's gonna leave a mark
One that time won't heal
Her good-bye cut like a knife
Right through this man of steel
Thought that I was tought enough
I could just shake it off
But even when I pretend it doesn't hurt at all
I know deep down in my heart
This one's gonna leave a mark

Thought I was Superman
With a heart of stone and I couldn't feel
Now here I am
Standing all alone and here's the deal

This one's gonna leave a mark
One that time won't heal
Her good-bye cut like a knife
Right through this man of steel
Thought that I was tought enough
I could just shake it off
But even when I pretend it doesn't hurt at all
I know deep down in my heart
This one's gonna leave a mark

I've crashed and burned my old Firebird
And walked away without a scratch


[It Gets Me Every Time]

A short red dress don't turn my head
At least that's true unless it's you that's wearin' it
Glamour girls, high heels and pearls
They're a dime a dozen in this world

But let me tell you
When I see you I go crazy
There's just something about you baby
Can't help myself you drive me out of my mind
Can't explain there's no use tryin'
Plain as day there's no denyin'
What you've got, it gets me every time

Don't want no part of no fancy car
All I need's a way to get me where you are
Some folks dream of the finer things
But I dream of you 'cause there's nothin' finer to me

Let me tell you
When I see you I go crazy
There's just something about you baby
Can't help myself you drive me out of my mind
Can't explain there's no use tryin'
Plain as day there's no denyin'
What you've got, it gets me every time

There's a lot of things that can tempt a man to fall
But girl to me they don't mean nothin' at all

No no no no
Let me tell you
When I see you I go crazy
There's just something about you baby
Can't help myself you drive me out of my mind
Can't explain there's no use tryin'
Plain as day there's no denyin'
What you've got, it gets me every time
Yeah, what you've got, it gets me every time
Girl, what you've got, it gets me every time


[I Don't Want This Song To End]

Well I don't wanna hear last call
And I don't wanna look at the clock on the wall
Let's lose track of time while we're dancing this close
And I don't really care if no one's around
We can just stay right here until the moon goes down
If it were left up to me, I would never let go

But if this is a dream then I don't wanna wake up
And see the sun shine again
As long as you're in my arms
I don't want this song to end

Let me look in your eyes and count the stars
Let me hold you tight next to my heart
And I'll whisper I love you for the rest of my life
Let's make believe the music plays
For just you and me could make the world go away
In perfect time you will always be mine

But if this is a dream then I don't wanna wake up
And see the sun shine again
As long as you're in my arms
I don't want this song to end

Yeah if this is a dream then I don't wanna wake up
And see the sun shining in
As long as you're in my arms
I don't want this song to end
Now if you're in my arms
I don't want this song to end
