No matter who I'm dreaming with
Honey, you start talking in my sleep
Then I wake up and start making up
A lie while you sleep

Like an old time friend I squeeze her hand
And I walk away unsatisfied
Another try, another cry, another hand shakin' goodbye

I laughed a lot with Mary Ann, I cried with Melody
And Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee
I can't count the hearts I've stepped on because of loving you
Another try, another cry, another hand shakin' goodbye

I laughed a lot with Mary Ann, I cried with Melody
Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee
Lord I can't count the hearts I've stepped on because of loving her
Another try, another cry, another hand shakin' goodbye

Another try, another cry, another hand shakin' goodbye
Have mercy baby
