Well, I have been thinkin' which I shouldn't do
'Cause it gets me in trouble and farther from you
I don't want a sentimental
Short and sweet and confidential goodbye

Well, my thoughts belong in a book in a store
Where they're silently read, but spoken no more
I didn't give my all and to be honest with you
I didn't even try, yeah

But I want you back so bad
I'm gonna change the way I'm actin'
I'm gonna change and I'm so glad

I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you runnin' back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
C'mon

Well, I have been thinkin' again this is bad
It seems that my thinkin' can drive you quite mad
But you can't say there's another word
Though, to call this feelin' in my heart, oh

Well, I admit I take advice from more romantic minds
But I can proudly reassure you
This idea was all mine

I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you runnin' back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be

Well, I admit I take advice from more romantic minds
But I can proudly reassure you
This idea was all mine

I'm gonna write you a letter
So much for the better
And if it goes my way
I'll have you runnin' back to me
I'm a natural born forgetter
So much for the better
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
To try to be

I can be romantic
I just got to try to be
One more time, come on!
I can be romantic
I just got to try to be...
Yeah
