Years and years ago, I loved you madly
I couldn't keep your smile out of my mind
I thought you and I'd wind up together
Because we knew how to treat each other kind
Your parents thought we made a pretty pairing
And all our friends thought us an item, too
But when it came to choosing between me and your old flame
You went back to the devil that you knew
Oh, but I'm doin' fine without you
I've found another love who brings me joy
No, don't think I don't think about you
I'll always be your backburner boy
Once upon a time, I brought you lilies
When your old man had left you feelin' blue
I didn't know they were your favorite flower
I saw them, and they made me think of you
Remember when we both worked for the paper
And your old man had stepped out every night?
We'd stay up 'til mornin' smoking cigarettes and pourin' out our hearts
And pound some coffee at first light
Oh, but I'm doin' fine without you
I've found another love who brings me joy
No, don't think I don't think about you
I'll always be your backburner boy
Now I know your choice was nothin' personal
But few things are more personal than love
We can't choose to whom we are attracted
Any more than we can reach the stars above
Oh, but I'm doin' fine without you
I've found another love who brings me joy
No, don't think I don't think about you
I'll always be your backburner boy
Oh, I'll always be your backburner boy
