a pretty
uncharacteristically sweet,
soft number on the
Ramones' fourth album,
Road to Ruin (
1978). Although songs like this were becoming more common on
Ramones albums, this one
sticks out kind of like
I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend on their
1976 debut,
Ramones.
Questioningly
Her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke
Aren't you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago
Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said, you're a girl
That I once may have knew
But I don't love you anymore
What do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry
In the morning
I'm at work on time
My boss he tells me that I'm doing fine
When I'm going home
Whiskey bottle
Movie on TV
Memories make me cry
And I'm alone
Just me
Just me
Questioningly
Well I don't love you anymore
What do you want to talk to me for?
You should have just let me walk by
Memories make us cry
Looked at her close
Forced her into view
Yes, I said, you're a girl
That I once may have knew
Questioningly
Her eyes looked at me
And then she spoke
Aren't you someone I used to know
And weren't we lovers a long time ago
