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 wanna be a notch in your handle
Another love casualty
Lay back down let's talk it over
Cause I don't wanna be a memory
Don't you remember how it used to feel
We were so in love
We spent the night in a two room flat
Drinking wine from a coffee cup
** ** 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 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 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
I don't want to be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
Wanna 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 and let's talk it over
Cause I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
Wanna be the one you'll always be
After all you've 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
