Lyrics

I can’t stop my self from call ing, call ing out your name.

I can’t stop my self from fall ing, fall ing back a gain, in the morn ing;

ba by, in the af ter noon.

Dark like the shad y cor ners in side a vi o lin.

How I’d like to burn my lips; I know I can’t win.

In the morn

ing,

ba by, in the af ter noon.

(Cm7)I tried to quit you, but I’m too weak; wak ing up with out you, I can (Cm7)hard ly speak at all.

Mm.

My girl friend tried to help me to get you off of my mind.

She tried a lit tle tea and sym pa thy to get me to un wind.

In the morn ing,

ba by, in the af ter noon.

Fun ny how my fav ’rite shirt smells more like you than me;

bit ter trac es left be hind, stains that no one can see.

In the morn ing;

ba by, in the af ter noon.

(Cm7)You’re gon na put me in an ear ly grave; I know I’m your slave when ev er you call.

I can’t stop my self from call ing, call ing out your name.

I can’t stop my self from fall ing, fall ing back a gain.

Fall ing back a gain,

(Ab)fall ing back a gain.

Fall ing back a gain;

fall ing back a gain.

Fall ing back a gain,

(Ab)fall ing back a gain.

Fall ing back a gain;

fall ing back a gain.

fall ing back a gain,

in the morn ing.
