I REMEMBER DANCING TO SOME JUKEBOX BALLAD
AT THE SOUTHERN BELLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON
AND ALL THE REDNECKS AT THE BAR COULDN'T SAY A WORD
CAUSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH A GIRL

YOU GOT ME TO DANCE WITHOUT HARDLY TRYIN'
AND I DON'T DANCE, HELL, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT
I WOULD DO THINGS FOR YOU THAT I'D ALWAYS REGRET
IF ONLY YOU WOULD ASK

I REMEMBER BEING DRUNK ON NIGHT TRAIN
PLEDGING MY LUST IN A BATHROOM ONE NIGHT AT 4 A.M.
I GUESS YOUR BOYFRIEND WAS THE LAST THING ON MY MIND
HOW QUICKLY YOU FORGOT HIM TOO

I REMEMBER SHAKING AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO STOP
WHEN YOU TOUCHED ME THAT FIRST TIME ON THE CHAIR
AND IT ALL WENT GOOD EXCEPT THAT THING IN THE MORNING
WHEN YOU FORGOT HOW THE HELL I EVEN GOT THERE

YOU GOT ME TO CHOOSE YOU OVER PEOPLE THAT'D TREAT ME BETTER
BY JUST IGNORING ME 'TIL I BEGGED
I WOULD DO THINGS FOR YOU THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS FORGET
I GUESS I SHOULD BE USED TO IT

I REMEMBER WRITING SONG AFTER SONG
IMMORTALIZING ALL YOUR SMILES AND YOUR FAULTS
THESE DAYS I THINK OF YOU WITH LESS INFATUATION
I ONLY HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY NOW AND THEN

SOMETIMES YOU WANDER BACK INTO MY LIFE
AND I TRY MY BEST NOT TO REPEAT YOUR TEST
I KNOW YOU'LL ALWAYS NEED FRIENDS MORE THAN LOVERS
STILL IT SEEMS WE NEVER GOT OUR CHANCE

YOU GOT ME TO DANCE WITHOUT HARDLY TRYIN'
AND I DON'T DANCE, HELL, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT
I WOULD DO THINGS FOR YOU THAT I'D ALWAYS REGRET
IF ONLY YOU WOULD ASK
