Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't get your scent from my pillows
I can't get you out of my head
That sweet acrid smell of Chanel seems to dwell
And bring you to mind once again

[Chorus]
Oh my love it's a painful reminder
Like a millstone that's bringing me down
How can I let go, how can I move on when that smell just keeps hanging around

[Verse 2]
Last night I came home with a stranger
I brought her back here to our bed
She was wanton and wicked, perfumed and pungent, lathered and covered with sweat
But right in the midst of the passion, at first subtle then growing more strong
And killing the mood was the sad bitter stench of a love that had gone oh so wrong

[Chorus]
Cause I can't get your scent from my pillows
I can't get you out of my head
That sweet acrid smell of Chanel seems to dwell and bring you to mind once again
Oh my love it's a painful reminder, like a millstone it's bringing me down
How can I let go, how can I move on when that smell just keeps hanging around

[Verse 3]
Now I might have to burn all the linens
I might have to leave from this place
I might have to get on an airplane and move somewhere far far away
If I send you a postcard from Thailand, you should not be surprised
If my letter back home is to tell you that the aroma grew stronger with time

[Chorus]
Cause I can't get your scent from my pillows
I can't get you out of my head
That sweet acrid smell of Chanel seems to dwell, it brings you to mind once again
Oh my love it's a painful reminder, like a millstone that's bringing me down
How can I let go, how can I move on when that smell just keeps hanging around

[Outro]
Oh how can I let go, how can I move on when your smell just keeps hanging around
Oh how can I let go, how can I move on when your smell
Just keeps hanging around
