I Don't Want to Be a Memory - Exile

I don’t want to be a memory

Just a shadow in your mind

Wanna be the one you always need

Not the one you left behind

I don’t want to be a notch in your handle

Another love casualty

So lay back down and let’s talk it over

'Cause I don’t want to be a memory

Don’t you remember how it used to be When we were so in love

We spent the nights in a two-room flat

Drinking wine from a coffee cup

Making love was so very easy

We couldn’t get enough

I never dreamed there would come a time

When you’d think about giving me up

I don’t want to be a memory

Just a shadow in your mind

I wanna be the one you always need

Not the one you left behind

I don’t want to be a notch in your handle

Another love casualty

So lay back down and let’s talk it over

'Cause I don’t want to be a memory

I know you’ve had other lovers

But that’s all history

I got to know that you’ll let me be the last one

To share your company

I don’t want to be a memory

Just a shadow in your mind

I wanna be the one you always need

Not the one you left behind

I don’t want to be a notch in your handle

Another love casualty

So lay back down and let’s talk it over

'Cause I don’t want to be

I don’t want to be a memory

Just a shadow in your mind

I wanna be the one you always need

Not the one you left behind

I don’t want to be a memory
