I Forgot To Remember To Forget

I forgot to remember to forget her,
I can't seem to get her off my mind.
I thought I'd never miss her,
But I've found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time.
Well the day she went away
I made myself I promise
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met. But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely:
I forgot to remember to forget.
Well the day she went away
I made myself I promise
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met. But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely:
I forgot to remember to forget.
I can't seem to get her off my mind.
I thought I'd never miss her,
But I've found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time.
Well the day she went away
I made myself I promise
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met. But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely:
I forgot to remember to forget.
Well the day she went away
I made myself I promise
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met. But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely:
I forgot to remember to forget.
