Sometimes She Forgets
(Steve Earle) [1979]
If you see her out tonight
And she tells you it's just the lights
That bring her here and not her loneliness
That's what she says but sometimes she forgets
If she tells you she don't need a man
She's had all the comfort she can stand
You'd best believe every word she says
But don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets
Sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore
She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore
So now she keeps it locked away
It grows colder every day
And it won't warm to any man's caress
That's what she says but sometimes she forgets
Sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore
She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore
Hey now don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets
