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