[Intro]
I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me
I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me
[Verse 1]
I saw you with your new girl just yesterday
And I feel that I must confess
Even though it kills me to have to say
I'll admit that I was impressed
Physically just short of perfection
Gotta commend you on your selection
Though I know I shouldn't be concerned
In the back of my mind, I can't help but question
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Does she rub your feet) When you've had a long day
(Scratch your scalp) When you take out your braids
(Does she know that you) Like to play PS2
Till six in the morning like I do?
[Chorus]
I can't explain this feeling
I think about it every day
And even though we've moved on
It gets so hard to
Walk away (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Walk away
Walk away (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Walk away (I can't forget how we used to be)
[Verse 2]
It feels like I live my life from day to day
Hoping maybe you'll come back
And though I tell myself not to be afraid
To move on, but it seems I can't
Though a new man has given me attention
It ain't the same as your affection
Though I know I should be content
In the back of my mind, I can't help but question
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Does he kiss me on the forehead) Before we play?
(Show up on my doorstep) With a bouquet?
(Does he call me in the middle of the day) Just to say
(Baby, I love you) Like you used to
[Chorus]
I can't explain this feeling (I can't explain)
I think about it every day (Every day)
And even though we've moved on (Moved on)
It gets so hard to
Walk away (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Walk away (Walk away, no)
Walk away (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Walk away (I can't forget how we used to be)
[Bridge]
It's so hard to express this feeling
'Cause nobody compares to you (To you)
And you know she'll never love you
Like I do
[Chorus]
I can't explain this feeling
I think about it every day (Every day)
And even though we've moved on
It gets so hard to
Walk away (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Walk away (Walk away, walk away)
Walk away (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Walk away (No, I can't, I can't, I can't, oh)
I can't explain this feeling (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
I think about it every day (Every day)
And even though we've moved on (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
It gets so hard to (It gets so hard)
Walk away (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Walk away (Ooh, I gotta walk away)
Walk away (I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Walk away (Hey)
[Outro]
(I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Remember you
(I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
Yeah
