Lyrics

I Just Forget

I ran into you yesterday
I know your face but your name I can?t say
That in itself?s not so bad, but you?ve
Told me your name fifty times and I?m sad

Sad that you must think I?m too self-absorbed
To be bothered recording your name
I?ve tried all the tricks in my memory books but I
Lose what you?re called just the same

chorus: I just forget, I just forget everything [x2]

I start out my day in the bath
Already my brain has dropped simple tasks ? have I
Conditioned or have I shampooed?
Minutes have passed, but I haven?t a clue

I forget my own songs, perform hundreds of wrongs
I don?t know my wife?s number at work
The name of your dad, the last party we had ? its all
Lost and I feel like a jerk.

[chorus]

It?s not all bad: I?ve seen Hitchcock films dozens of times --
I still get surprised at the end - I can?t hold a grudge
And who knows what I?ve lent to my friends
Who?s my friend - be my friend?

[chorus]

I might mourn the loss of all I once knew but
But before I?m depressed, I?ll forget why I?m blue

[chorus x2]
