Lyrics
Oh ...
Let your inhibitions go Make every touch electrical When you're feeling beautiful Will you remember me?
I want to touch you deep inside And find the secrets that you hide When your fears are cast aside Will you remember me?
Easily forgotten love Easily forgotten love It's not so easily
I just want to let you know My mind refuses to let you go I wanna hypnotise you so You will remember me
Easily forgotten love Easily forgotten love It's not so easily
Easily forgotten love Easily forgotten love Easily the best I ever had Easily the best I ever had
