Bacharach! The Instrumental Side lyrics

Verse 1:

I just got out my little red book
The minute that you said goodbye
I thumbed right through my little red book
I wasn’t gonna sit and cry
And I went from a to z
I took out every pretty girl in town
They danced with me and as I held them

Chorus:

All I did was talk about you
Hear your name and I’d start to cry
There’s just no getting over you... oh, no...

Verse 2:

All through the night you telephoned
I saw the light blinking red beside the cradle
But you don’t know how far I’ve gone
*now I must live with the lie (life? ) that I made
But if I call, I know I won’t have to say it
You’ll hear my voice, something is bound to betray it
But do people living in toledo
Know that their name doesn’t travel very well

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You’ll always be a part of me, whoa oh whoa
