Janie Frickie The First Word In Memory Is Me Lyrics

The First Word In Memory Is Me Lyrics

I can see you don't know

What a memory can do

You're getting ready to go

Like good-byes up to you



I can tell by the way

You're not falling apart

You're listening to somebody new

Not your heart



And when she's laying beside you

Like I used to do

Her lips will be my lips

When she's kissing you



You'll be looking at her

But it's my face, you'll see

The first word in memory is me



She'll never touch you, darling

The way that I do

It won't be her fault

That's just how it is



When she's loving you

The way I loved you first

Baby, remember

And know how it hurts



That's when you're gonna find out

What a memory can do

And that's when you're gonna wish

She was me, loving you



But I'm here to tell you

You'll never be free

The first word in memory is me

The first word in memory is me
