don't bring back memories

can't you let the past

let it remain in the past

don't bring back memories

baby

for the love

doubt that couldn't lie

in each heart

there's tale of woe

for the love affair that fell through

but we must find that inner strength

that one needs to start anew

it's with my deepest regret

baby i must forget we ever met

i've got some nights yet to live

baby

i've got a lot of love left to give

i've got to find somebody new

who'll appreciate the things i tried to do for you

now those people

right by my side girl

baby

protect her

always be her guide now

don't you bring me those worn out memories

girl

now

don't you bring me those obsolete memories

no no no no

my heart can't stand it

oh

no no no no no no no no

i don't need those memories

girl

baby

now don't you do it

my heart can't take it

girl

oh i feel faint

it's gonna ruin my shape

feelin' heartaches i feel with the stake

but this

i would much

much rather do

than take another chance

chance with you

it's been my deepest regret

baby

i just got to forget we met

i've still got some life to live

girl

you know i got a lot of love left to give

i'm gonna find somebody new

yeah girl

that will appreciate the things i try to do

yeah

i'm gonna keep her right by my side

always protect her

be my only guide now

it's so hard can't take it

antiquated memories

rustin' memories

i don't need them

nor do i want them
