Edwin Starr — I Cant Escape Your Memory

[Intro] Mmm hmm [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] I can't escape your memory No, no, no I can't, I can't escape your memory Oh, listen, baby [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] (I can't escape (I can't escape) your memory) I can't escape your memory No, no, no [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
