I'm Gonna Forget About You

Sam Cooke · Other Songs - Sam Cooke

I didn't sleep a wink all night long

Waitin' by my telephone

You said you'd call me 'bout a quarter to ten

But you went and stood me up again



I don't know what you're gonna do, but

I'm gonna forget about you, yeah



I'm gonna take your picture off my wall

And then I'm goin' out and have a ball

Too many fishes in the deep blue sea

For me to let you make a fool of me



I don't know what you're gonna do, but

I'm gonna forget about you



Please don't tell me that you're sorry

Don't give me the same old line

I know for a fact if I took you back

You'd make me lose my mind baby



And if I lost it, it would be my fault

So I think it's time we called a halt

I've had as much of you as I can stand

Instead of me, mistreat some other man



I don't know what you're gonna do, but

I'm gonna forget about you



Baby, I'm gonna take your picture off my wall

Then I'm goin' out and have a ball

Too many fishes in the deep blue sea

For me to let you make a fool of me



I don't know what you're gonna do, but

I'm gonna forget about you



Yeah, forget about you baby

I'm gonna forget about you

I'm gonna forget about you baby

I'm gonna forget about you
