Forgive & Forget
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't say that I never moved you
Just because I saw the light before you did
Yes, I know that I never showed you
All the rooms inside of my soul
Girl
Girl
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Walking up and down the hall
Frankie and his third lover
Speaking all the words she wants to hear
But that don't mean forever
Girl
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Girl
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Sitting down by the fire
Frankie plays the guitar
To people playing make believe
They say, "Can we get a little higher?"
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, baby
And it goes on and on and on and on
On and on and on
Packing her bags
She found somewhere to stay
And in the car to the station
You know the world looks a little brighter
And then there's no need for conversation
Tell me why
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 it goes
Girl
You say you need someone to love you
Girl
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Girl
So I forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Girl
So I forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Girl
So I forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Girl
So I forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
Girl
So I forgive and forget you
You say you need someone to love you
But it ain't me
So I forgive and forget you
