Sometimes She Forgets

Steve Earle

If you see her out tonight


And she tells you it's just the lights


That bring her here and not her loneliness


That's what she says but sometimes she forgets


If she tells you she don't need a man


She's had all the comfort she can stand


You'd best believe every word she says


But don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets





Sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore


She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore





So now she keeps it locked away


It grows colder every day


And it won't warm to any man's caress


That's what she says but sometimes she forgets





Sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore


She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore





Hey now don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets
