You know you shouldn't be here What am I suppose to do? You know I've found a new love And I'm trying to be true Didn't you say that we were over Why do you keep hangin' on? You're no longer welcome Can't you just leave us alone What's a memory like you doing in a love like this She thinks we're all through but that's not the way it is When I hold her in my arms it's your lips I still kiss What's a memory like you doin' in a love like this Don't you know it would hurt her to find you here with me Why make me remember the way it used to be Can't you see that she can love me the a way you never could And I really want to love her, ain't it time you left for good? What's a memory like you doing in a love like this She thinks we're all through but that's not the way it is When I hold her in my arms it's your lips I still kiss What's a memory like you doin' in a love like this What's a memory like you doing in a love like this
