Won't you come see about me
I'll be alone, dancing
You know it will be me
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out
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 recognize me
Call my name
Gonna walk on by
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, ooh, oh

Don't you try and pretend
It's my beginning
We'll win in the end
I won't harm you
Or touch your defenses
Vanity, insecurity
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing
You know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll build 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
Oh, call my name
Will you call my name

I say la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
When you walk on by
