I can see you dont know

What a memory can do

Youre getting ready to go

Like good-byes up to you



I can tell by the way

Youre not falling apart

Youre listening to somebody new

Not your heart



And when shes laying beside you

Like I used to do

Her lips will be mine, dear

When shes kissing you



Youll be looking at her

But its my face youll see

The first word in memory is me



Shell never touch you, darling

The way that I do

It wont be her fault

Thats just how it is



When shes loving you

The way I loved you first

Baby, remember and know how it hurts

Thats when youre gonna find out

What a memory can do

And thats when youre gonna wish

She was me loving you



But Im here to tell you

Youll never be free

The first word in memory is me

The first word in memory is me
