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 common 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

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

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

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 common when you come to mind
No, common sense ain't common when you come to mind
