Your memory has a mind of its own

It knows where to go when it's gone

I think I've lost it then it proves me wrong

Your memory has a mind of its own



I can't tell it what to do

I can smoke and I can drink until it's out of view

But I can't hold it off, it's too strong

Your memory has a mind of its own



Your memory does what it wants to do

It survives, though I don't want it to

I do ok when I don't think of you

But your memory does what it wants to do



If your memory had ears they'd be burnin'

If your memory had eyes they'd be cryin'

And if it had a heart it would leave me alone

But your memory has a mind of its own



I can't tell it what to do

I can smoke and I can drink until it's out of view

But I can't hold it off, it's too strong

Your memory has a mind of its own

Your memory has a mind of its own
