I KEEP FORGETTIN' (EVERY TIME YOU'RE NEAR)

BY JERRY LEIBER/MIKE STOLLER/MICHAEL MCDONALD/ED SANFORD

CHORUS:

I KEEP FORGETTIN' WE'RE NOT IN LOVE ANYMORE

I KEEP FORGETTIN' THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN

I KEEP FORGETTIN' HOW YOU MADE THAT SO CLEAR

I KEEP FORGETTIN'

EVERYTIME YOU'RE NEAR

EVERYTIME I SEE YOU SMILE

HEAR YOUR "HELLO"

SAYING YOU CAN ONLY STAY A WHILE

HEY, I KNOW THAT IT'S HARD FOR YOU

TO SAY THE THINGS THAT WE BOTH KNOW ARE TRUE

BUT TELL ME HOW COME (I)

CHORUS:

EVERYTIME I HEAR

HOW YOU NEVER WANT TO LIVE A LIE

HOW IT'S GONE TOO FAR

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME WHY

WHY YOU'RE GONE AND WHY THE GAME IS THROUGH

IF THIS IS WHAT'S REAL, IF THIS IS WHAT'S TRUE

TELL ME HOW COME (I)

CHORUS:

DON'T SAY THAT, DON'T SAY THAT, DON'T SAY THAT

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT MINE ANYMORE-ANYWAY-ANYTIME

BUT TELL ME HOW COME (I)

CHORUS:
