Common sense tells me
Kiss the girl goodbye
Common sense tells me
Leave it all behind
Common sense says
The girl’s not worth my time
But common sense ain’t comin’ when you come to mind

Common sense told me
She was not worthwhile
Common sense said
Don’t go the extra mile
Common sense said
Go back and reconcile
But common sense forgot about her smile

Second chances are thought of to be weak
Second chances in volumes, do they speak
Second chances aren’t given usually
But a second chance is all I really need

I think I love you
I want to love you
Please let me love you
I wish to show you how to love

Common sense tells me
Kiss the girl goodbye
Common sense tells me
Leave it all behind
Common sense says
The girl’s not worth my time
But common sense ain’t comin’ when you come to mind
No, common sense ain’t comin’ when you come to mind
