Lyric
I know your leavin’
I see the signs
You’re gonna walk out on this heart of mine
You’ll never call me
You’ll never write
You’ve made your mind up, your gone tonight
If some rainy day you’re all alone
You feel like talking, you can log me on
At www.memory,
I’ll be waiting for you patiently
If you feel the need, just click on me
At www.memory
You won’t even have to hold me
Or look into my eyes
You can tell me that you love me
Through your keyboard and wires
No, you won’t have to touch me
Or even take my hand
Just slide your little mouse around
Until you see it land
At www.memory,
I’ll be waiting for you patiently
If you feel the need, just click on me
At www.memory
If you feel like love, just click on me
At www.memory
