A Hundred Times Today

(album: Promises, Promises - 1967)

I once believed those mornful songs about when love is gone
They say you simply can't forget but now I know they're wrong
Forgetting is an easy thing for since you went away
Already I've forgotten you a hundred times today

Forgetting you is no big thing I do that all the time
The hard part is remembering that you're no longer mine
For when I found you on my mind I just don't let you stay
Already I've forgotten you a hundred times today

Why I forgot you right away when you walked out the door
Within a few short minutes I forgot a few times more
And so it goes through everyday I do that quite a lot
There's nothing to forgetting you you just don't stay forgot

Forgetting you is no big thing I do that all the time
The hard part is remembering that you're no longer mine
For when I found you on my mind I just don't let you stay
Already I've forgotten you a hundred times today
