Don't forget about us
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby, no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
My baby boy
You know what this is!

Just let it die
With no goodbyes
Details don't matter
We both pay the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes
It'd be like that baby

Now every time I see you
I pretend I'm fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn, and I walk and I let it ride
Baby I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best

And don't forget about (us)
Late nights playin' in the dark
And waking up inside my arms boy
You'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
(When it's for real, it's forever, so don't forget about us)

Oh they say
That you're in a new relationship
But we both know
Nothing comes close to
What we had in persevere
That we both, can't forget it
How good we used to did it

There's only one me and you
And how we used to shine
No matter what you go through
We are one, that's a fact, and you can't deny
Baby we just can't let
The fire pass us bye
Forever we both regret

And don't forget about (us)
Late nights playin' in the dark
And waking up inside my arms boy
You'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
(When it's for real, it's forever, so don't forget about us)

(Still have NO clue)
Sure I ain't act like you know how this lovin used to be
I bet she can't do like me
She'll never be MC
Baby don't you, don't you forget about...

And don't forget about (us)
Late nights playin' in the dark
And waking up inside my arms boy
You'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you

And don't forget about (us)
Late nights playin' in the dark
And waking up inside my arms boy
You'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you

Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby, no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
When it's for real, it's forever, so don't forget about us
