Dont You Forget About Me
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, though it hurts to see you go
Oh, this time you should know
I won't try to stop you

Don't you forget about me baby
Don't you forget about me now
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go

So you try to fake a smile
You don't wanna break my heart
I can see that you're afraid
But baby it's to late
'Cause I'm already dying

Don't you forget about me baby
Don't you forget about me now
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go

Don't you forget about me baby
Don't you forget about me now
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go

Why did I let you

Don't you forget about me baby
Don't you forget about me now
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go

Why did I let you go

Wherever I go
I won't forget about you
Oh no, no, no

Wherever you go
Don't you forget about me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Enrique Iglesias' "Don't You Forget About Me" convey a painful message about a love that has ended. The first stanza suggests that the singer is familiar with the realities of love; that it is not always fair, and that it can end painfully. The singer acknowledges this and admits to being a fool for holding on to the love despite the pain it causes. The second stanza describes how the singer has expressed his love to the one he is addressing. He tells them that he loves them to the point of being willing to die for them. Despite this level of devotion, he cannot force the person to stay with him. He acknowledges that it will hurt when they leave, but he will not try to stop them.

The chorus serves as a plea for the person not to forget about him or their love. The use of the word "baby" suggests that the singer still has a strong attachment to the person, and the repetition of the line "don't you forget about me" reinforces his desperate attempt to keep their relationship alive. The final stanza reflects the duality of the singer's feelings. On one hand, he is promising not to forget the person while, on the other hand, he acknowledges that the person could also easily forget about him. The song ends with the singer underlining the importance of their relationship, stating that wherever they go, he will never forget about them.

I told you once you were the one
You know that I'd die for you

Don't you forget about me baby?
Don't you forget about me now?
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go?

So you try to fake a smile
You don't wanna break my heart
I can see that you're afraid
But baby it's too late
'Cause I'm already dying

Don't you forget about me baby?
Don't you forget about me now?
Some day you'll turn around and ask me, why did I let you go?

Wherever I go, I won't forget about you (oh no, oh no, oh no)
Wherever you go, don't you forget about me?

Мы вертуальные друзья...
И оба этому так рады...
Мне кажется с Небес награда...
За пережитые года...
Так хочется порою рассказать...
О личном...
Буд-то едем мы в вагоне...
И кто-то выйдет на перроне...
Моё признанье унося...
Мы откровения скрываем...
Скрываем даже от себя...
Как-будто вены мы вскрываем...
Хирургу жизнь свою даря...❤
