I can see you don't know What a memory can do you're getting ready to go Like good-byes up to you I can tell by the way you're not falling apart you're listening to somebody new Not your heart And when she's laying beside you Like I used to do Her lips will be mine, dear When she's kissing you you'll be looking at her But its my face you'll see The first word in memory is me Shell never touch you, darling The way that I do It won't be her fault that's just how it is When she's loving you The way I loved you first Baby, remember and know how it hurts that's when you're gonna find out What a memory can do And that's when you're gonna wish She was me loving you But I'm here to tell you you'll never be free The first word in memory is me The first word in memory is me
