Lyrics:

[English]

And I left a note on my bedpost

Said not to repeat yesterday's mistakes

What I tend to do when it comes to you

I see only the good selective memory

The way you make me feel, yeah

You gotta hold on me, I never met someone so different

Oh, here we go

You're a part of me now, you're a part of me

So where you go I follow, follow, follow

Oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh, whoa

I can't remember to forget you

Oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh, whoa

I keep forgetting I should let you go

But when you look at me

The only memory is us kissing in the moonlight

Oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh, whoa

I can't remember to forget you

...

I can't remember to forget you

...

I go back again, fall off the train

Land in his bed, repeat yesterday's mistakes

What I'm trying to say is not to forget

You see only the good selective memory

The way he makes me feel like

The way he makes me feel, I never seemed to act so stupid

Oh, here we go

He a part of me now, he a part of me

So where he goes I follow, follow, follow

Oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh, whoa

I can't remember to forget you

Oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh, whoa

I keep forgetting I should let you go

But when you look at me

The only memory

Is us kissing in the moonlight (oh)

Oh-oh, whoa (oh), oh-oh, whoa (oh)

I can't remember to forget you

I rob and I kill to keep him with me

I do anything for that boy

I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight

I do anything for that boy

I rob and I kill to keep him with me

I do anything for that boy

I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight

I do anything for that boy

Oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh, whoa

I can't remember to forget you

Oh-oh, whoa, oh-oh, whoa

I keep forgetting I should let you go

But when you look at me

The only memory

Is us kissing in the moonlight (oh)

Oh-oh, whoa (oh), oh-oh, whoa (oh)

I can't remember to forget you

But when you look at me

The only memory

Is us kissing in the moonlight (oh)

Oh-oh, whoa (oh), oh-oh, whoa (oh)

I can't remember to forget you
