Lyrics

I Forgot to Remember to Forget

[Verse 1]

I forgot to remember to forget her

I can't seem to get her off my mind

I thought I'd never miss her

But I found out somehow

I think about her almost all the time

[Verse 2]

The day she went away

I made myself a promise

That I'm to forget we ever met

Oh, but something sure is wrong

'Cause I'm so blue and lonely

I forgot to remember to forget

[Verse 3]

Well, on the day she went away

I made myself a promise

That I would soon forget the day we met

Well, something sure is wrong

'Cause I'm so blue and lonely

I forgot to remember to forget
