[Verse 1]
Cool water divined
Now I'm thirstier with nowhere to go
And what else do we find
But sorrow and misery untold?
I know you got somebody new, much better than me
When that chain starts to swing, keep in mind one thing
Don't forget me, dear
[Bridge 1]
And when you're lost I feel it too
Woman, make life sweet
Because of what you do
All my world is you
[Verse 2]
Now we know it's not easy
Don't believe them when they say I'm not right
Don't put a hex on me, baby
Because I don't know what's wrong or right
I know that there's somebody new, much better than me
But because my love is true, all my best to you
Don't forget me, dear
[Bridge 2]
And when you're alone, please take care
Don't go walking after dark
Shine a light behind the stairs
Remember what might be in there
[Verse 3]
Cool water divined
Now I'm thirstier with nowhere to go
It's sorrow that we find
I'm thirstier with nowhere to go
I know that there's somebody new, much better than me
When that chain starts to swing, keep in mind one thing
Don't forget me, dear
[Coda]
Because my love is true, I give my best to you
Don't forget me, dear
Don’t Forget Me was written by Mark Lanegan.
Don’t Forget Me was produced by John Agnello & Martin Feveyear.
Mark Lanegan released Don’t Forget Me on Tue May 08 2001.
In his book I Am the Wolf, Lanegan reflected on the song’s origins:
…I flat-out took the melody and phrasing from an Israeli folk song and was immediately busted for it by fans when it was released…
The song in question is the Israeli folk song “Tiyul Leili.”
