So you're out there having fun and drinking with the guys
Trying to hide the hurt you feel inside
Someone plays the certain song
And in spite of all you do she's still got a hold on you

She's still got a hold on you
At awkward her mem'ry still comes through
Now you say that you're set free but you'll know who's fooling who
'Cause she's still got a hold on you

Now you say that you don't care as you have another round
You say you couldn't care less what happens to her now
Then you see a certain hairdo and it scares you through and through
'Cause she's still got a hold on you

She's still got a hold on you
If you can't see it, friend, oh, then you're a fool
Now if you happen to be me, then you'll know who's fooling who
'Cause she's still got a hold on you, 'cause she's still got a hold on you
