Lyrics
My mama kept me from my baby so long
She says "My dear, this boy will do you so wrong"
But our love is strong, that's where I belong
She doesn't have a clue that all the rumors are true
Oh, he is a beast, a loaded gun
No one would believe all the things he has done
They say I should run, before I'm the one
Carrying the lore the secret's 'bout to unfold
Oh, oh, oh, they do not know
Oh, oh, they do not know
They do not know the trouble that you've put me through
Oh, baby's fine
He's on his ride
Nowhere to find
But I can't get him off my mind
My mind
So close
I need him the most
The pain that I host
A Casanova's Ghost
A Casanova's Ghost
Two years have passed, I don't know where he would go
I guess my mama's right, she does better know
He plays one more show, I miss the old Joe
Forgot me and moved on to the girl next door
Oh baby cries, don't know she exists
You don't know anything about the years that you've missed
I'm still so dumb, yeah still persist
If you came back to me you know I wouldn't resist
Oh, oh, oh, yeah you know
Oh, oh, yeah you know
And know that I adore you till the day that I die
Oh baby's fine
He's on his ride
Nowhere to find
But I can't get him off my mind
My mind
So close
I need him the most
The pain that I host
A Casanova's Ghost
A Casanova's Ghost
A Casanova's Ghost
