YOU DON'T REMEMBER (But I do)
ŠJack Hoban
January 1997

You don't remember you told me that you loved me
You don't remember you said that you'd be true
You don't remember you said you'd never leave me
You don't remember, Baby, but I do

I still recall the night that I first met you
You weren't a minute over 35 years old
I can't forget the dress you were not wearing
And the five hundred lies that you told

If I knew then what I know now I'da surely run away
Pack my bags, sell my house, gas up my Chevrolet
Head on south to Mexico or maybe Timbuktu (Baton Rouge)
The other side of Venus baby that's still too close to you

And now there's a hole where my heart was
You could probably drive a friggin' freight train through
But I'm still misty whenever I think about ya
(Oh, yeah and) That five hundred dollar IOU

You don't remember you told me you loved me
You don't remember you said that you'd be true
You don't remember you said you'd never leave me
You don't remember, Baby, but I do
