  • And I left a note
    On my bedpost
    Saying 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 got a hold on me, I never met someone so different
    Oh, here we go

    You're part of me now
    You're part of me
    So where you go
    I follow, follow, follow

    Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
    I can't remember to forget you
    Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
    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 ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
    I can't remember to forget you

    Uh, uh, uh
    I can't remember to forget you
    Uh, uh, uh

    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 ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
    I can't remember to forget you
    Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
    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 ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
    I can't remember to forget you

    I rob and I kill to keep him with me
    I'll do anything for that boy
    I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight
    I'll do anything for that boy

    I rob and I kill to keep him with me
    I'll do anything for that boy
    I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight
    I'll do anything for that boy

    Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
    I can't remember to forget you
    Oh-oh ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
    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 ooh oh, oh-oh ooh 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 ooh oh, oh-oh ooh oh
