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
