You'd think I'd have better things to do
Than to sit around and think of you
After what you've put me through
Oh, you'd think, baby, after all this time
I wouldn't let you cross my mind and break my heart in two

Lookin' back, I see clearly now
I always thought that someday I'd get over you somehow
But your memory stays, it just won't go away
I've done all that I can do
I should just forget about forgetting you

Well, I thought that I could make it on my own
I could learn to live my life alone
But time has only proved me wrong
Oh, I thought that I could find somebody new
To help to get me over you but I'm still hangin' on

And lookin' back I see clearly now
I always thought that someday I'd get over you somehow
But your memory stays, it just won't go away
I've done all that I can do
Well, I should just forget about forgetting you

But your memory stays, it just won't go away
I've done all that I can do
Well, I should just forget about forgetting you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I should just forget about forgetting you
