I know you must up and leave
To see the lights in the big city
But, don't you forget about me
I know your life's been so rough
And finding a job never seemed so tough
But, don't you forget about me
I can tell that you're doing fine
You got new friends and drink lots of wine
But, don't you forget about me
And I see your pictures with a man
I guess he's just better than I am
But, don't you forget about me
You're just a girl who's gone too far
And how I wonder where you are
On the table you could have left a note
So I would not wonder where did you go
I know you must up and leave
To see the lights in the big city
But, don't you forget about me
