at the touch of her fingertips
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about her
You think you'll find a heaven of bliss in each caress
and each tender kiss
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about her
You stole her love from me one day you you didn't care how you hurt me
Well let me tell you somethin' son
There's one thing that you will never never never never steal away
Them ole mem'ries of what used to be
You think she's yours to have and to hold
Someday buddy you'll learn when her love grows cold
That I forgot more than you'll ever know about her
