forget your legs around my hips
forget your hands pressed on my back
forget the letters that i kept

forget your lips, your eyes, your thighs
forget our one last kiss goodbye
forget me stakin' out your house
forget i've got you figured out

forget your legs around my hips
forget your hands pressed on my back
forget the letters that i kept
this is another i won't send

Great song, but it was hard to hear the guitar parts.
It's not 100%, but I'm sure it's really close.
Sorry if it's confusing, just listen to it.
