[Verse 1]
When I think my world is all together
My head's on right and things are settling down
I'm taking every day just the way it comes
And I can do it 'til Melinda comes around
There's a little man at home depending on me
And a woman that would never let me down
And I love them just as sure as God made feelings
And I do fine 'til Melinda comes around

[Chorus]
I promised me I wouldn't think about her
But heaven, won't you keep her safe and sound?
I've made up my mind not to love her anymore
And I can do it 'til Melinda comes around

[Verse 2]
I try to be content with all my blessings
And thankful for the good life that I've found
'cause if there's such a thing as being happy
I guess I am 'til Melinda comes around

[Chorus]
I promised me I wouldn't think about her
But heaven, won't you keep her safe and sound?
I've made up my mind not to love her anymore
And I can do it 'til Melinda comes around
And I can do it 'til Melinda comes around
