Lyrics
It must have been 3 or 4 years ago now at
Thanksgiving, you were late again---The turkey was gone, the
dishes were done, and the TV had captured the men---You
showed up with some new boy from school---I guess your
parents didn't tell you they invited me too---I said "Hello,
Hello. How are you?", and I kept my cool, I kept my cool---
but inside I screamed---Remember me, remember me,
remember growing up and falling in love---remember me,
remember me, remember 3 months ago when you promised
forever---Remember, remember me---I needed desperately to
talk with you my friend, about you my lover---I waited for a
time when I could pull you aside---and you'd explain to me
why you left me for another---I hung in there for an hour or
so---But, I saw you smile at him and my heart just turned
sour and cold---I made some excuse and ran for the bus, but
I just kept running for home---I know that you think its
forbidden, you think that you're broken, and you can be
fixed---but I know your heart, and I know your mind, and
there's no special man that can do the trick
