Oh, Simple Minds, do you know I forgot that I’d already recorded this song off the radio before? Weird. Not only that, but this was the song that ushered out 2014. And the post about it wasn’t half bad, either. So yeah, a song imploring me not to forget about you, and a post talking about me not wanting to be forgotten? Totally forgotten. Great. That says a lot, doesn’t it? Well, luckily, I was the only one who forgot about this song, which is why it’s on the Top 90 of the ’80s. There’s no point in writing anymore about it since obviously it’ll be out of my head as soon as I hit “Post”. But thanks for making such a great song, Simple Minds. I promise to try to remember not to forget.
“Don’t You (Forget About Me)”
Hey, hey, hey, heeey
Ooooooo wooooah
Wonchoo
Come see about me
I’ll be alone
Dancin’, you know it, baby
Tell me
Your troubles and doubts
Givin’ everything inside and out, and
Love’s strange
Surreal in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets inta your heart, baaaby
Donchoo
Forget about me
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Donchoo
Forget about me
Will you stand abooove me
Look my waaaay, never love me
Rain keeps fallin’, rain keeps fallin’ down, down, down
Will you recogniiize me
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps fallin’, rain keeps fallin’ down, down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, heeey
Ooooooo woooah
Donchoo
Try an’ pretend
It’s my feeling we’ll win in the end, I won’t
Harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity
Insecurityyy, ahh
Donchoo forget about me
I’ll be alone
Dancin’, you know it, baby
Goin’ toooo take you apart
I’ll put us back together at heart, baby
Donchoo
Forget about me
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Donchoo
Forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my naaaame
