Don't You (Forget About Me) Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh, whoa Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone, dancing you know it, baby Tell me your troubles and doubts Giving me everything inside and out and Love's strange so real in the dark Think of the tender things that we were working on Slow change may pull us apart When the light gets into your heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't don't don't don't Don't you forget about me Will you stand above me Look my way, never love me Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down Will you recognise me Call my name or walk on by Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down, down Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh, whoa 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 ah Don't you forget about me I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby Going to take you apart I'll put us back together at heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't don't don't don't Don't you forget about me As you walk on by Will you call my name? As you walk on by Will you call my name? When you walk away Oh will you walk away? Will you walk on by? Come on, call my name Will you call my name? I say: La la la... When you walk on by And you call my name...
