words & music by Michael F. K. Phelan

I didn’t think, when I became your footman,

That you would walk all over me

And when you said that you would go away soon

You’d gone beyond what I could see

You led me to believe there was no other in your mind

You forgot me, you left me behind

Whenever times were rough, and we were losing

Your face was always turned away

And though I tried to prove that I could help you

You found another place to stay

You used me, but you really must admit I gave my time

You forgot me, you left me behind

A time would come when I would find you crying

As if somebody broke your heart

It made me sad when you refused to listen

It seemed that we had grown apart

A goodnight kiss, and just like this, tomorrow I would find

You forgot me, you left me behind

I gave you everything that I could give you

But you were never one to satisfy

And when you left, you know, it really shocked me

You never even told me why

I never will forget you, and I won’t forget this line:

You forgot me, you left me behind.
