Hard to Forget Ya
Britney Spears Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life they told me bout a creature so hypnotic
But I guess I never thought it was true (Yeah)
And now that I've seen you I've turned into a believer
Baby so much for what I thought I'd do (Yeah)

Since I tasted you I got a craving
Shaking in the heat of the night
Oh, yeah, baby you got me misbehaving

And I don't even know what is right

It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
There's just something about ya
Something about ya
It's hard to forget ya
We're stuck here forever
Something about ya, 'bout ya
Something about ya
It's hard to forget ya
We're stuck here forever
Something about ya

Eyes locked on your body, sexy features, so iconic
And I just can't keep my fingers away (no)
Your love got me faded
Keep it going, let's get wasted
Baby, so much for my poker face (oh)

Since I tasted you I got a craving
Shaking in the heat of the night
Oh, yeah, baby you got me misbehaving
And I don't even know what is right

It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
There's just something about ya
Something about ya
It's hard to forget ya
We're stuck here forever
Something about ya, 'bout ya
Something about ya
It's hard to forget ya
We're stuck here forever
Something about ya, 'bout ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya

Ah, there's something 'bout you
There's something 'bout you
(When I think about it)
Nobody can do it as good
(When I think about it)
I keep running right back to you
(When I think about it)
A lifetime just won't be enough
I need more, more, more
It's hard to forget ya

Something about ya
It's hard to forget ya
We're stuck here forever
Something about ya, 'bout ya
Something about ya
It's hard to forget ya
We're stuck here forever
Something about ya, 'bout ya (something about you)
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya
Something about ya, 'bout ya (oh)
It's just so hard to forget ya
It's just so hard to forget ya

It's just so hard to forget ya
Something about ya, 'bout ya
