When I Forget About Me |
LyricsToday the love of my life just became the wife of another manI was there in the church left in the lurch, doin all I can Until the hopelessness settled in When I realized I'd never begin To stand a bit of a chance to rekindle romance with her That is how I got here so pour me a beer Mr bartender I'll take a shot of that gin, until I begin to forget about her If I keep drinkin I sure I'll arrive at a place where I can finally survive Where all the pain and the hurt will finally become a blur I'll have me another, double round Until my emptiness settles down And when I'm feeling no pain, then I won't need your lame sympathy When I forget about me Well as I live and I breathe, there's a girl that I need sitting next to me She's a beauty no doubt, I just gotta find out if she's taken with me If I keep drinkin I might get up the nerve to ask her if she's ever likely to serve The cause of helping a schmuck stuck in a rut like me I'll have me another, double round Until my emptiness settles down And when I'm feeling no pain, then I won't need your lame sympathy When I forget about me |
