Now too many times I been in this place
My suit jacket's on
I gotta smile all over my face
Waiting at the table
Not placing no bets
Man says you're overqualified
I said yeah

What you want me to forget?
What you want me to forget?
What you want me to forget?
What you want me to forget?

Now, Now, Now woman drive me crazy questioning my deeds
Even though I'm doing what they want fulfilling all their needs
She knows too well boy like you own the whole set
I said yeah honey sugar baby really?

What you want me to forget?
What you want me to forget?
What you want me to forget?
What you want me to forget?

Well I know what I know
My life goes by and I learn as I go
I know what I've seen
What I've left
That's where I've been

What you want me to forget
What you want me to forget

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Our politician's up there squawking givin' me the news
He says he's gonna' get this country back on track real soon
And he asked me directly
"Boy, will you vote for me next?"
I said "Man I voted for you last time, nothing changed in my life"

What you want me to forget
What you want me to forget
What you want me to forget
What you want me to forget
