Just a Memory

Lyrics

[Intro: Otis Redding] Come back, come back, come back baby [Verse 1: Patrick Monahan] School bells, wishing wells, sun burns, long turns DUI's, fake IDs, first kiss to the Fugees Breaking in, breaking out The man on the radio knew what we were thinking about When we didn't even know what we were drinking about Wedding bells, nursery rhymes Thrift shops and Five and Dimes Move home, quit the life Wasn't ready for the nine to five Breaking up, breaking down The girl at the bank, she knew what we were fighting about When we didn't even know what I was writing about [Pre-Chorus: Patrick Monahan] Love I guess, is there anything else? [Chorus: Patrick Monahan and (Otis Redding)] Come back, come back, high or low Before you're just a girl I used to know And who will melt with me When I am who you used to love And you are just a memory (Come back, come back, come back baby) For I am who you used to love And you are just a memory [Verse 2: Patrick Monahan] Sunshines, intervention, roads paved with good intentions Birthdays, condolences, on the wagon or so she says Play the game, the papers came, no one wins, nobody to blame Everybody's right, but no one's wrong But where have all the good times gone? Lawyers ask me if I wanted war And I don't remember what I was fighting for, no [Pre-Chorus: Patrick Monahan] Love I guess, is there anything else? [Chorus: Patrick Monahan and (Otis Redding)] Come back, come back, high or low Before you're just a girl I used to know And who will melt with me When I am who you used to love And you are just a memory (Come back, come back, come back baby) For I am who you used to love And you are just a memory [Bridge: Patrick Monahan] No I'm dying to let you know Every time you leave it kills me slowly If you go now it'll be the last time I'm sailing away on these tears that I'm crying, oh [Chorus: Patrick Monahan and (Otis Redding)] Come back, come back, high or low Before you're just a girl I used to know And who will melt with me When I am who you used to love And you are just a memory Come back, come back, high or low Before you're just a girl I used to know And who will melt with me When I am who you used to love And you are just a memory (Come back, come back, come back baby) For I am who you used to love And you are just a memory (Come back, come back, come back baby) For I am who you used to love And you are just a memory
