[Verse 1]
I woke up with her in my arms this morning
And God knows I love her over all
She whispers she loves me your memory appeared
Ain't your memory got no pride at all

[Chorus]
You were here we loved now you're gone
Why can't you let bygones be bygones and be gone
You always find the wrong time to come around and call
Ain't your memory got no pride at all

[Verse 2]
'Til tonight I lay holding her sweet body
And the good familiar feeling I recall
She whispers she loves me your memory appeared
Ain't your memory got no pride at all

[Chorus]
You were here we loved now you're gone
So why can't you let bygones be bygones and be gone
You always find the wrong time to come around and call
Ain't your memory got no pride at all
Ain't your memory got no pride at all
