Shakira - Can't Remember To Forget You Lyrics


Shakira Lyrics

Can't Remember To Forget You Lyrics
[Shakira]
I left a note on my bedpost
Said not to repeat yesterday's mistakes
What I tend to do when it comes to you
I see only the good, selective memory

The way he makes me feel yeah, gotta hold on me
I've never met someone so different
Oh here we go
He a part of me now, he a part of me
So where you go I follow, follow, follow

[Chorus 1]
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory,
is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
Ooooh
I can't remember to forget you
Ohohohoh ohohohoh

[Verse 2: Rihanna]
I go back again
Fall off the train
Land in his bed
Repeat yesterday's mistakes
What I'm trying to say is not to forget
You see only the good, selective memory

The way he makes me feel like
The way he makes me feel
I never seemed to act so stupid
Oh here we go
He a part of me now, he a part of me

[Shakira]
So where he goes I follow, follow, follow, oh

[Chorus 2: Both]
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory,
is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you

[Bridge: Shakira]
I rob and I kill to keep him with me
I do anything for that boy
I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight
I do anything for that boy

[Bridge: Rihanna]
I rob and I kill to keep him with me
I do anything for that boy
I'd give my last dime to hold him tonight
I do anything for that boy

[Chorus 3: Both]
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me, the only memory,
is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you
But when you look at me, the only memory,
is us kissing in the moonlight
Ohohohoh ohohohoh
I can't remember to forget you

Can't Remember To Forget You Info:

Can't Remember to Forget You is from Shakira's fourth English and overall tenth studio album, Shakira (2014) and features vocals by Rihanna. Rihanna turned down an offer from Pitbull to sing on his "Timber" single, as she was already working with Shakira on this song.

Lyrically, the song concerns a man that Shakira can not get off her mind, discussing how easy it is to forget how bad someone is for you when you still love them. The Lyrics were noted by E! Online as describing a woman who will follow her man, the concept of the song is introduced in Lyrics such as "keep(s) forgetting I should let you go/ But when you look at me/ The only memory is us kissing in the moonlight."

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy commented on the lyric; "I keep forgetting I should let you go" as the singers telling their "no-good lothario, who seems to still have a hefty grip on their hearts," continuing to say the songs Lyrics are "romantic pitfall."
