Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, ay
[Verse 2]
Won't you come see about me
I'll be alone dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out, oh
[Verse 3]
Love's strange, surreal in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
[Verse 4]
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
[Verse 5]
Will you stand above me
Look my way but never love me
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
[Verse 6]
Will you recognize me
Call my name or you walk on by
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
[Verse 7]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
[Verse 8]
Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity, insecurity
[Verse 9]
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby
Don't you take us apart
I'll put us back together at heart
[Verse 10]
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
[Verse 11]
Will you stand above me?
Will you look my way or you'll never love me
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Falling down, oh, down
[Verse 12]
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
All the way down
[Verse 13]
Hit it!
[Verse 14]
Oh yeah, oh
[Verse 15]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
[Verse 16]
Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me
[Verse 17]
As you walk on by
Won't you call my name?
When you walk on by
Won't you call my name?
When you walk away
[Verse 18]
As you walk on by
Won't you call my name?
As you walk on by
Won't you call my name?
As you walk on by
Come on, call my name
Won't you call my name?
Come on, come on, come on, come on
[Verse 19]
I sing la, la-la-la, la
La-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la, la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
[Verse 20]
When you walk on by
Won't you call my name?
When you walk on by
Come on, call my name
[Verse 21]
Hey
[Verse 22]
La, la-la-la, la
La-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La la, your turn
[Verse 23]
London!
