Read from start to end and again
Hold the feelings which are crossing the brain
Strips the chord of a sensible word
And what's worse?

She left her mark, indelible
Oh the nature of her scripted verse
Keeps my eyes set on the page
And it says

Frankly dear I'm forced to give it up
Tried my hand and now I've had enough
Even though we have to say goodbye
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind

Blamed in advance for the past
With no bearing on the present tense
All that's left are claims that she made
When she said

Oh, dear, someday you'll learn to be
Someone better, fit to pursue me
But 'til then we'll call it the end
And she adds

Frankly dear the drifters had it right
Stayed the afternoon and left at night
Even though we have to say goodbye
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind
