Sweet Memories
Tanika Charles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey darling
Something's been bugging me lately
See I been calling
Not sure if you hear me
See I've been down here for two days thinking
Whatever happened to us?
I'm steady drinking to those
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone

Well hello doctor
I just want you to fix me See all these tinctures
No they ain't doing a damn thing
No matter what I try to do to change it It ain't working
Can't get my fever to break
'Cause I'm in love with this sweet

Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone

I don't understand
Have done something wrong
Just pick up that phone baby
And give me a call
Oh but I see you when I close my eyes
I just want you in my bed at night
Well honey bee
You're the sweet in my coffee
I'm up tossing and turning
Without my baby to hold me
And even if I found another lover boy
I don't want him
Not in a million years
Because I'm still in love with my sweet

Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone




Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
