After taking a brief recording hiatus in the mid-1990s to start a family with her husband, songwriter Doug Crider, Bogguss returned to the country music scene to find that her charting power had already faded. Although she last appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart in 1999, Bogguss continues to record and perform around the country to a loyal following.
Her most recent recordings have ventured into swing and jazz variations of country. These albums really showcase the tremendous talent in her voice. Suzy is a true singer, and her voice has so much versatility.
In 2014, Suzy added an album of Merle Haggard songs entitled "Lucky". The country & western flavor dominates this album, unlike some of her other recent work. To promote this new album, Suzy has embarked on a nationwide tour.
Forget About It
Suzy Bogguss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I'll just take my old guitar and walk out the door
Forget about it, I'll be gone and you'll have memories
You'll find hard to ignore
'Cause after all I'll see you sometimes, maybe
When I can't recall how you drove me crazy
Forget about it when forever's over
Forget about it, put me out of your head
Now that you're free and easy out there on the town
Forget about it when you're lying in your bed
Just wishing I was there to lay my body down
'Cause after all I'll see you sometimes, baby
When you will recall how I drove you crazy
Forget about those starlit nights laying by the fireside holding tight
I can't remember when it felt so right so just forget about it
Forget about it, if you see me on the street
Don't wave don't wink, don't try to tease me with your smile
Forget about it, if we chance to meet somewhere
Don't think it's 'cause I'm tryin' to reconcile
'Cause after all I'll see you sometimes, baby
When I can't recall how you drove me crazy
Forget about those starlit nights laying by the fireside holding tight
I can't remember when it felt so right so just forget about it
Forget about those starlit nights laying by the fireside holding tight
I can't remember when it felt so right so just forget about it
Forget about it

Forget about it, I'm admittin' I was wrong
I acknowledge my mistake, there is no point in dwelling on it any longer
So I'll just take my old guitar and walk out the door
I'm leaving with nothing but my guitar, I'm not looking back
Forget about it, I'll be gone and you'll have memories
You'll be left with memories of me, but forget about them and move on
You'll find hard to ignore
But don't let those memories hold you back
'Cause after all I'll see you sometimes, maybe
Even though it's over, we may cross paths from time to time
When I can't recall how you drove me crazy
But I won't remember how much you once annoyed me
Forget about it when forever's over
When it's all said and done, forget me completely
I won't remember how much I love you anymore
I'll forget how much I once loved you
Forget about it, put me out of your head
Erase me from your thoughts, move on and enjoy life
Now that you're free and easy out there on the town
Enjoy life now that you're not tied down to me
Forget about it when you're lying in your bed
Even when you're feeling lonely and missing me, forget about me
Just wishing I was there to lay my body down
Longing for my presence won't bring me back
Forget about those starlit nights laying by the fireside holding tight
Don't reminisce on those romantic moments we shared
I can't remember when it felt so right so just forget about it
Those moments may have felt right at the time, but they're not worth holding onto now
Forget about it, if you see me on the street
Don't acknowledge me if we cross paths in public
Don't wave don't wink, don't try to tease me with your smile
Don't try to flirt or play games with me
Forget about it, if we chance to meet somewhere
If we run into each other unexpectedly, don't read into it
Don't think it's 'cause I'm tryin' to reconcile
I'm not trying to get back with you, don't misinterpret my actions
I can't remember when it felt so right so just forget about it
Let go of the past, it's not worth holding onto anymore
