  • Now I gotta add you to my list of people to try and forget about
    Now I gotta add yours to my list of faces to try and not think about
    Now I gotta tell 'em I don't care and hope that nobody might work it out
    It was obviously an illusion 'cause there's never been so much I've been wrong about
    And I don't want to spend all my days thinking of the one I can't live without
    So I'm gonna have to add you to my list of people to try and forget about
    Try and for

    And as the years go by
    Your name will fade out gradually
    Don't think my heart will try
    But it was waiting here

    So now I gotta add you to my list of people to try and forget about
    It could've been magic
    Nearly had ya
    Can you imagine
    Nearly had ya
    'Til it becomes another one of the things that I just can't talk about
    I'm gonna have to keep you on my list of people to try and forget about
    Try and for

    And as the years go by
    Your name will fade out gradually
    They'll think my heart won't try
    But it was waiting in the wings
    And as the years go by
    You're still a banished memory
    They'll say my love has died
    But it was waiting in the wings Writer/s: Kevin Parker
