  sözleri de şöyle (yazmadan tam olmuyor):
  
  [intro:]
  (don't forget about us)
  don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
  no baby, no baby, no baby no
  don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
  my baby boy...
  
  [verse 1]
  just let it die
  with no goodbyes
  details don't matter
  we both paid the price
  tears in my eyes
  you know sometimes
  it'd be like that baby
  
  [bridge 1]
  now everytime i see you
  i pretend i'm fine
  when i wanna reach out to you
  but i turn and i walk and i let it ride
  baby i must confess
  we were bigger than anything
  remember us at our best
  and don't forget about
  
  [chorus]
  late nights, playin' in the dark
  and wakin' up inside my arms
  boy, you'll always be in my heart and
  i can see it in your eyes
  you still want it
  so don't forget about us
  
  i'm just speaking from experience
  nothing can compare to your first true love
  so i hope this will remind you
  when it's for real, it's forever
  so don't forget about us
  
  [verse 2]
  oh they say
  that you're in a new relationship
  but we both know
  nothing comes close to
  what we had, it perseveres
  that we both can't forget it
  how good we used to get it
  
  [bridge 2]
  there's only one me and you
  and how we used to shine
  no matter what you go through
  we are one, that's a fact
  that you can't deny
  so baby we just can't let
  the fire pass us by
  forever we'd both regret
  so don't forget about
  
  [chorus]
  
  [rap]
  and if she's got your head all messed up now
  that's the trickery
  she'll wanna have like you know how this lovin' used to be
  i bet she can't do like me
  she'll never be mc
  
  baby don't you, don't you forget about us
  
  [chorus x2]
  
  don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
  no baby, no baby, no baby no
  don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
  
  when it's for real, it's forever
  so don't forget about us.
