Lady, lately you've been gettin' under my skin I hope I don't have to say, there she goes again Please don't be another lesson I'll have to learn 'Cause I've got memories to burn Please don't make me have to think about you when you're gone I've had enough to think about before you came along If you're just makin' memories you'll have to wait your turn 'Cause I've got memories to burn Lately maybe you've been stringin' me along But if you plan on writing to me after you're gone Just address your to whom it may concern 'Cause I've got memories to burn Please don't make me have to think about you when you're gone I've had enough to think about before you came along If you're just makin' memories you'll have to wait your turn 'Cause I've got memories to burn Well, if you're makin' memories you'll have to wait your turn 'Cause I've got memories to burn
