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
