I Can't Escape Your Memory - Edwin Starr

I’m in a prison that the eye can’t see

It’s like my shadow always fell behind me

A ball and chain that weighs on my mind

Forever chaining to bygone times

I’m locked in memory

You’re such a part of me

No matter what, I can’t break free, girl

Your love’s a prison and my love is the key to set me free

I can’t escape your memory

No, no, no

I can’t, I can’t escape your memory

Oh, listen, baby

Awaken from my sleep, I hear your call, girl (Hear your call)

I hear your footsteps runnin' down the hall

I hurry to my door, your face to see

But there’s nobody standin' there but me

My heart just won’t believe

My eyes won’t see, huh

That it’s all over and you’re truly gone, baby

The uselessness of me hangin' on, my love’s so strong

(I can’t escape (I can’t escape) your memory)

I can’t escape your memory

No, no, no

Oh, oh, oh, listen, baby

My love for you distorts reality

I walk the borders of insanity

Afraid to close my eyes

I’m afraid that I might see, huh

Behind the borders of my memory, girl

Into a world of insanity, come help me

I can’t escape your memory

No, I can’t, I can’t escape your memory

Oh, oh

I can’t, I can’t escape, I can’t escape it

No, no, no

I can’t escape, oh, I can’t escape your memory

No, no, no, no, no

I can’t escape
