Ever met someone who remembers all the bad, trivial stuff, especially from a long time ago? Here's her song.
CCM, country and praise singer-songwriter
I'm a singer songwriter with a good day job and a passion for music. I write in a variety of styles, but mostly focused around the church.
Story behind the song
A friend told me about something I didn't do...three years ago and acted like I should have still been worried about it. My reaction: "How'd you remember that?" Sounded like a song.
Lyrics
VERSE 1
Honey, I love you
You know it’s true
I do my best
And give it all to you
I bring you flowers, cards
And chocolates too
But you only notice what I didn’t do.
CHORUS
I didn’t mow the grass
I didn’t wash the car
I didn’t tell your mother
That you wasn’t where you were
I didn’t do the laundry
No, I didn’t think
When I left all my dirty dishes
Out in the sink
And seven years ago
I didn’t rub your aching back
Aw, how’d you remember that?
VERSE 2
I’ve said I’m sorry
Least a hundred times
Apologized for problems
That weren’t even mine
But baby, where’s the limit
Where do you draw the line?
No, thank you very much,
I don’t need cheese with that whine.
CHORUS
I didn’t buy the groceries
I didn’t wash the cat
I didn’t sweep the kitchen
Or hang up my baseball cap
I didn’t mail that package
To your brother’s ex, I know.
I didn’t wake up early
And shovel off the snow
Oh, and fourteen weeks ago
I didn’t think to call you back
Aw, how’d you remember that?
VERSE 3
Now, listen, I’m not complaining
No, no, I’m really not
I just think some of this
Has got to stop
It’s getting crazy
Going over the top
You say I didn’t do things
I forgot that I forgot?
CHORUS
Okay, I didn’t put the trash out
I didn’t scrub the tub
I didn’t open doors
For all your girlfriends at the club
I didn’t tell the neighbors
That your dog was feeling sick
I didn’t clean the mess up
And you didn’t like that trick
Oh, and something like a month ago
I said go kiss my _____
Aw, come on now,
How’d you remember that?
I didn’t put the seat down
I didn’t change the oil
I didn’t know that toilet paper
Was our final roll
I didn’t pay the light bill
And I didn’t know
That water in your ketchup bottle
Makes it all explode
And thirteen hours ago
I didn’t say that you’re not fat
Aw, how’d you remember that?
Ad lib ending
I didn’t what?
How’d you remember that?
Your sister? When?
How’d you remember that?
1980what?
How’d you remember that?
