Lyrics
Turn off that charm
I’m through with love for awhile
I’m through, and yet
You have a fabulous smile
So if I forget
Burthen
Remind me not to find you so attractive
Remind me that the world is full of men
When I start to miss you
To touch your hand, to kiss you
Remind med to count to ten
I had a feeling when I met you
You’d drive me crazy, if I’d let you
But all my efforts to forget you
Remind me, I’m in love again
I get my heart well in hand and I’m certain
That I can take you or leave you alone
Then you “Begin that Beguine” again
And boom! I give in again
I have a sill made of steel my friend
But when it seems about to bend
Remind me not to mention that I love you
Remind me to be sorry that we met
Although I adore you
Remind me to ignore you
You’re one thing I will regret
So, when your charm begins to blind me
I’ll simply tie my hands behind me
Don’t let me kiss you, please remind me
Unless, my darling, you forget
