It's good enough it's true

My forgetful baby

Actually put me through

She said she had no memory

And then she forgot my name

She said she had some condition

Forgetful in the brain

She told me to forget her

She would only break my heart

We got married on a Sunday

And by Mondays things were worse
    E
She can't recall the wedding

She tried to kiss her preacher

                E
We were walking through the Walmart
                                       B - D - E - D
She grabbed another fellah by the rear
  F#                   G#m
I had to flag her down
              G
Forgetful babe I'm over here

I'm pretty sure I forgotten my

Forgetful baby's name
