I Can't Take You Anywhere

You've been a part of my life for so very long
 It's hard for me to believe sometimes you're really gone
 I tuck your memory away in that special hiding place
 Hoping no one can tell by the look on my face
 That you're still in my heart, always on my mind
 Part of my everyday
 Like just last night I went out for a bite
 I tried to have fun with all of my might
 But even the laughter, wasn't much of a break
 'Cause right in the middle of my salad and steak
 Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends
 And said, "Hey have you heard from her at all man like
 Where's she been?'
 (Chorus)
 And it, struck a nerve
 And it, hit a vein
 You'd think from all the tears I cried this broken-hearted pain
 I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
 But it seems like everywhere I go
 Somebody wants to know where you've been
 Are you comin' back again, I swear
 I can't take you anywhere
 So I left all alone, just headed back home
 As I listened to the messages on my telephone
 There was one from my sister
 And one from an old friend
 He said, "I drove by your house tonight dude but
 You weren't in
 Just checkin' up on you boy, I hope you're doing alright
 Oh by the way man, I seen her last night'
 *Chorus*
 Oh no, I swear, I can't take you anywhere
 Just can't take you
 I can't take you anywhere
 I can't take you anywhere
 Oh no no no no no no no no
 I can't take you anywhere, baby
