I was sittin' at a table In a little club downtown Playin' songs on the jukebox And pourin' whiskey down When I heard a sweet voice sayin' "Would you like some company?" And I had to tell her This is just between an old memory and me All my friends tell me That I'm a fool for holding on I know their trying to help me But I've been a fool too long And I don't want to talk about it So why can't they just let me be? 'Cause this is just between An old memory and me And I'm not hurtin' anybody As far as I can see I just need to be alone sometimes While she goes walkin' through my mind Oh, I'm not hurtin' anybody, yeah As far as I can see I just need to be alone sometimes While she goes walkin' through my mind And I don't want to talk about it So why can't everybody see? This is just between An old memory and me Oh, Yeah, Yeah! This is just between Her memory and me
