Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I said, ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancin' and you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Givin' me everything inside and out, now
[Verse 3]
Love's strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
I'll get us back together at heart, baby
[Verse 4]
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
[Verse 5]
Will you stand above me
And look my way and never love me?
Rain keeps fallin', rain keeps fallin'
Down, down, down
[Verse 6]
Would you recognize me
Or call my name or walk on by?
Rain keeps fallin', rain keeps fallin'
Down, down, down
[Verse 7]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I said, ooh, yeah
[Verse 8]
Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity, insecurity
[Verse 9]
Now don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancin' and you know it, baby
Goin' to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby
[Verse 10]
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
[Verse 11]
As you walk on by, will you call my name?
As you walk on by, will you call my name?
[Verse 12]
As you walk on by
As you walk on by
Will you walk on by
Or will you walk away?
[Verse 13]
Come on, call my name
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?
[Verse 14]
I said, la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 15]
When you walk on by, would you call my name?
As you walk on by, would you call my name?
When you walk on by, oh, yeah
Come on and call my name
[Verse 16]
Would you walk on by? Baby, call my name
When you walk on by, oh, now
Would you call my name, name?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yow
