I don't want to be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
I want to be the one
you'll 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
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
Drinkin' wine from a coffee cup
Makin' love was so very easy
We couldn't get enough
I never dreamed there
would come a time
when you'd think
about givin' me up
I don't want to be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
I want to be the one
you'll 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
Let's talk it over
'Cause I don't want
to be a memory
I know you've had
other lovers
That's all history
I've got to know
that you'll let me be
the last one to share
your company oh yeah
I don't want to be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
I want to be the one
you'll 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
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 want to be the one
you'll always need
Not the one you left behind
I don't want to be
a notch in your handle
Another love casualty
