-CHORUS-
I don't want to be a memory.
Just a shadow in your mind
Wanna be the one you always need
Not the one you left behind
- I don't want to be a notch in your handle
Another love casualty
So lay back down and let's talk it over
'cause I don't want to be a mem'ry
Don't you remember how it used to be
When we were so in love
We spent the nights in a two-room flat
Drinking wine from a coffee cup
Making love was so very easy
We couldn't get enough.
I never dreamed there would come a time
>When you'd< think about giving me up.
-To CHORUS-
-BRIDGE-
I know you've had other lovers
But that's all history
I got to know that you'll let me be the last one
To share your company
I don't want to be a memory.
Just a shadow in your mind
Wanna be the one you always need
Not the one you left behind
- I don't want to be a notch in your handle
Another love casualty
So lay back down and let's talk it over
'cause I don't want to be a >mem'ry<
>>I don't want to be a memory.
Just a shadow in your mind
I wanna be the one you always need
Not the one you left behind
I don't want to be a memory.
Just a shadow in your mind
Wanna be the one you always need
Not the one you left behind
