A mix of pop, funk, soul and rock, this one's about accepting then forgetting... ‘cause the sooner that I get you, the sooner I’ll forget about you.

lyrics by Lizanne Hennessey
I wish I knew everything about you.
I wanna know what you’re thinking ‘bout,
wanna know where you are right now.
It’ll be all right in my dreams tonight,
‘cause the sooner that I get you,
the sooner I’ll forget about you.
I think about you all the time
Why can’t I get you off my mind?
‘Cause if my memory serves me,
you never did deserve me, no.
I tell myself that I should fight it.
Believe you me, I even tried it.
But even though we’re ancient history,
I still consider you a mystery.
I wish I knew everything about you.
I wanna know what you’re thinking ‘bout,
wanna know where you are right now.
It’ll be all right in my dreams tonight,
‘cause the sooner that I get you,
the sooner I’ll forget about you.
After all is said and done,
I figure I’m the only one that,
even though we called it quits,
still wants to know what makes you tick.
'Cause when I do then I can say
goodbye, farewell, so long, good day.
When I know without a doubt
all there is to know about you -
I wish I knew everything about you.
I wanna know what you’re thinking ‘bout,
wanna know where you are right now.
It’ll be all right in my dreams tonight,
‘cause the sooner that I get you,
the sooner I’ll forget about you.
