♬ [Verse 1] Five women, five months, five tries at moving on I stamped "closed" on every name and moved along Then one flat second when your step came through the door And every month I stacked between us hit the floor [Verse 2] March came in sideways, hands deep, nowhere to go I found a bar where nobody had to know A stranger poured whiskey - "you look like you need it" The jukebox played the one song I couldn't beat [Verse 3] April wanted a table, a ring, a name I said "someday" - and I meant it just the same But she priced out cribs before the coffee went down I was deaf, dumb, and blind, and halfway out of town [Pre-Chorus] I couldn't promise what I couldn't give My heart was somewhere else, but I tried to live [Chorus] Five women couldn't get you off my mind Five months I spent leaving you behind One look and every deal I closed comes open now I keep losing this fight with you [Verse 4] May had a suitcase and a smile she couldn't hold A different city every time the story got told Runway, cover, or a callback she forgot - I never kept the details, you were all I got [Verse 5] June arrived like a rumor, two weeks late She told the neighbor a story about our only date I never set it straight, never made a sound The strangest little thing to carry around [Verse 6] July kissed like a smoke alarm, sharp and out of line For half a breath it fit too well - then yours, not mine The kitchen went quiet, the clock refused to turn Every road I take is a lesson I don't learn [Bridge] You're gone and the room still keeps your shape A name I dodge, a street I can't escape I want you close - that's the part I fear The more I run, the more you're here [Final Chorus] Five women couldn't get you off my mind Five months I spent leaving you behind One look and every deal I closed comes open now I keep losing this fight with you [Outro] Five women, five months, one face I knew Call it bad timing, call it foolish, call it true I can win against the whole world - I never win against you
