Keep me mind
Little Joy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red from start to end and we can't hold the feelings which are crossing the brain
Strips the cord of a sensible world what's worse?
She left her mark and there were both oh the nature of a scripted curse
Kissed my eyes sat on the bed and then said

Frankly dear I'm forced to give it up
Tried my hand and now I've had enough
Even though we have to say goodbye

Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind

Blamed in advance for the past with no bearing on a present tense
All that slack the things that she made when she said
Oh dear someday I'm going to be Someone better, picture person me
But 'til then we'll call it the end and she asked

Frankly dear my breath has had enough
Standing afternoon and left at night
Even though we have to say goodbye

Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind




Keep me in mind
Keep me in mind

The partner is frank when she says that she's giving up the relationship because she's tried but it's not working.
