Forgetful

Can you see my keys? I can’t remember where they are, See I really need to find them Or I can’t get in the car. Every time I walk in a room It’s all very hazy My remember is broke And it’s driving me crazy. Have you seen my glasses? I’m sure I put them there I’ll just take another look Maybe they’re under the chair. Sometimes I put things away Where it’s safe you see, The only person that it’s Safest from usually is me Did you see my coat? I left it on that hook Oh! Please just help me Take another look Often when I walk into a room I say what am I here for? I wrack my brain all in vain And go back through the door. When I’m out shopping I stop and have a chat When that person walks away I ask myself who the heck was that? I know there’s things I used to do But now I can’t remember The urges that I used to have Are dying like an ember So if you find my remember Please let me have it back It may have my name on And I think it could be Jack.
