I can see you don't know
What a memory can do
You're getting ready to go
Like good-byes up to you I can tell by the way
You're not falling apart
You're listening to somebody new
Not your heart And when she's laying beside you
Like I used to do
Her lips will be my lips
When she's kissing you You'll be looking at her
But it's my face, you'll see
The first word in memory is me She'll never touch you, darling
The way that I do
It won't be her fault
That's just how it is When she's loving you
The way I loved you first
Baby, remember
And know how it hurts That's when you're gonna find out
What a memory can do
And that's when you're gonna wish
She was me, loving you But I'm here to tell you
You'll never be free
The first word in memory is me
The first word in memory is me
