Don’t Forget About Us
[Intro: Mariah Carey, Jermaine Drupri]
(Don’t forget about us)
Don’t baby, don’t baby, don’t let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby, no
(Don’t forget about us)
Don’t baby, don’t baby, don’t let it go
My baby (y’all know what this is) boy
[Verse 1]
Just let it die with no goodbyes
Details don’t matter, we both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes it’d be like that, baby
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Ah) Now every time I see you, I pretend I’m fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby, I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don’t forget about
[Chorus]
(Don’t, baby, don’t, baby, don’t, baby, don’t) Late nights, playing in the dark
And waking up inside my arms
Boy, you’ll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes, you still want it
So don’t forget about us
I’m just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it’s for real, it’s forever
So don’t forget about us
[Intro: Mariah Carey, Jermaine Drupri]
(Don’t forget about us)
Don’t baby, don’t baby, don’t let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby, no
(Don’t forget about us)
Don’t baby, don’t baby, don’t let it go
My baby (y’all know what this is) boy
[Verse 1]
Just let it die with no goodbyes
Details don’t matter, we both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes it’d be like that, baby
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Ah) Now every time I see you, I pretend I’m fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby, I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don’t forget about
[Chorus]
(Don’t, baby, don’t, baby, don’t, baby, don’t) Late nights, playing in the dark
And waking up inside my arms
Boy, you’ll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes, you still want it
So don’t forget about us
I’m just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it’s for real, it’s forever
So don’t forget about us
