Lyrics
You don't remember me
But I remember you
T'was not so long ago
You broke my
heart in two
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you
If we could start anew
I wouldn't hesitate
I'd
gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Love is not a gadget
Love is not a toy
When you find the one
you love
She'll fill your heart with joy
Caused by you
