HOOKED ON THE MEMORY OF YOU
(written by Neil Diamond)


Stay with me, here with me.
I want you near with me.
I'm a man that's hooked on the mem'ry of you
and I. Who knows why?
I only know that I'm sure I am
hooked on the mem'ry of you.

Time, time standing still.
I know it's you.
I always will
need you to
lay with me; lie with me.
Spend your desire with me
if you can.
I'm hooked on the mem'ry of you
and I. Who knows why?
I guess I wanted for you to be
hooked on the mem'ry of me.

Time, time standing still.
I know it's you.
I always will
want you to be
here wit me.
I want you to stay right here with me.
I need you to love with me;
laugh with me.
Forgive the past with me.
I know you can.
I'm hooked on the mem'ry of
you and I. Who knows why?
Guess I just wanted for you to be
hooked on the mem'ry of me.

Oh, you know that it's true.
Not a thing I can do.
I'm hooked on the mem'ry of you.
