The First Word In Memory Is Me

I can see you don’t know

What a memory can do

You’re getting ready to go

Like good-bye’s up to you

I can tell by the way

You’re not falling apart

You’re listening to somebody new

Not your heart

And when she’s laying beside you

Like I used to do

Her lips will be mine, dear

When she’s kissing you

You’ll be looking at her

But it’s my face you’ll see

The first word in memory is me

She’ll never touch you, darling

The way that I do

It won’t be her fault

That’s just how it is

When she’s loving you

The way I loved you first

Baby, remember and know how it hurts

That’s when you’re gonna find out

What a memory can do

And that’s when you’re gonna wish

She was me loving you

But I’m here to tell you

You’ll never be free

The first word in memory is me

The first word in memory is me
