The song is about a womanizer (Frankie) who seduces a girl. After she “gives it away,” she confesses her feelings for him. Unfortunately Frankie tells her that if love is what she is looking for, then she is in the wrong place. She is then dropped off at the train station and the couple go their sep...
[Intro]
Don't say that I never moved ya
Just because I saw the light before you did
And yes, I know that I never showed you
All the realms inside of my soul
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
[Verse 1]
Walking up and down the hall
Frankie and his favourite lover
Speaking all the words she wants to hear
But that don't mean forever
[Chorus]
Yeah, you say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Yeah, you say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
[Verse 2]
Sitting down by the fire
Frankie plays the guitar
To people playing make believe
Saying, "Can we get a little higher?"
[Chorus]
You give it away, you give it away
You give it away, you give it away so easy, baby
But I can't stand an hour break
Another day, so let me make it easy, babe
[Post-Chorus]
And it goes on and on and on and on
On and on and on
[Verse 3]
Packing her bags, she found somewhere to stay
And in the car to the station, oh
You know the world looks a little brighter
And there's no need for conversation
Tell me why
[Chorus]
You give it away, you give it away
You give it away, you give it away so easy, baby
But I can't stand an hour break
Another day, so let me make it easy, babe
And then it goes
[Chorus]
Yeah, you say you need someone to love you
Yeah, you say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Yeah, I'll forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Yeah, so I'll forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Yeah, I'll forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Yeah, so I'll forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Yeah, I'll forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
So I'll forgive and forget you
Forgive & Forget was written by Alexis Nuñez & Inflo & Luke Pritchard.
Forgive & Forget was produced by Inflo.
The Kooks released Forgive & Forget on Fri Jul 11 2014.
According to Luke Pritchard:
“Forgive & Forget” is one that I think Alexis had quite a big input on, really, because he brought the funk. He is a big Prince fan and we sort of went down that road. It’s definitely got that vibe and it’s just a kind of upbeat record. Sort of a disco record, reall...
