Your memory has a mind of its own It knows where to go when it's gone  I think I've lost it but then it proves me wrong Your memory has a mind of its own  I can't tell it what to do I can smoke and I can drink until it's out of view  But I can't hold it off it's too strong And your memory has a mind of its own Your memory does what it wants to do It survives though I don't want it to   I do okay when I don't think of you But your memory does what it wants to do   If your memory had ears they'd be burnin'  If your memory had eyes they'd be cryin' And if it had a heart it would leave me alone But your memory has a mind of its own I can't tell it what to do I can smoke and I can drink until it's out of view  But I can't hold it off it's too strong And your memory has a mind of its own Your memory has a mind of its own
