You ve been a part of my life for so very long
It s hard for me to believe sometimes that you re really gone
I tuck your memory away in my special hiding place
Hoping no one can tell by the look on my face
That you re still in my heart and always on my mind
And part of my everyday
Like just last night I went out for a bite
I tried to have fun with all of my might
But even the laughter it wasn t much of a break
Cause right in the middle of my salad and steak
Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends
And said, "Hey have you heard from her at all man like, Where s she been?"
(Chorus:)
And it, struck a nerve
And it, hit a vein
You d think from all the tears I cried
And this broken-hearted pain
I wouldn t have to carry you around with me
But it seems like everywhere I go
Somebody wants to know where you been
Are you comin back again, I swear
I can t take you anywhere
So I left all alone, just headed back home
As I listened to the messages on my telephone
There was one from my sister
And one from an old friend
He said, "I drove by your house tonight dude but you wasn t in
Just checkin up on you boy, I hope you re doin alright,
Oh by the way man, I seen her last night
(Chorus)
I swear, I can t take you
..
Just can t take you
I can t take you anywhere
