It comes and goes all right 
Comes every morning and it goes all night 
I say with lotta pride and I haven't really lied 
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes. 
Everybody asks if I still love you 
And if you're still on my mind 
They ask me to tell 'em 'bout my broken heart 
And I tell 'em that I'm feelin' fine. 
Well, I lie a little bit and I proudly say 
Our book of love is closed 
And your memory never bothers me 
And when it does it comes and goes. 
It comes and goes all right 
Comes every morning and it goes all night 
I say with lotta pride and I haven't really lied 
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes. 
--- Instrumental --- 
Everybody asks if I cried when you left 
And if I've cried for you since 
They hope I have so they can all get together 
And laughin' up at my expense. 
So I lie a little bit and I proudly say 
Not one teardrop flows 
And when there is a little pain it's not a constant thing 
It kinda just comes and goes. 
It comes and goes all right 
Comes every morning and it goes all night 
I say with lotta pride and I haven't really lied 
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes. 
It comes and goes all right 
Comes every morning and it goes all night 
I say with lotta pride and I haven't really lied 
I just tell 'em that it comes and goes. 
Yes, I tell 'em that it comes and goes...
