REMIND ME
(Fields / Kern)

Doris Day & André Previn - 1961
 

Remind me not to find you so attractive
Remind me that the world is full of men
When I start to miss you, to touch your hand, to kiss you
Remind me to count to ten

I had a feeling when I met you
You’d drive me crazy if I let you
But all my efforts to forget you
Remind me I’m in love again

Not to mention that I love you

To be sorry that we met
Although I adore you, remind me to ignore you
You’re one thing I will regret
So when your charm begins to blind me
I’ll simply tie my hands behind me
Don’t let me kiss you, please remind me
Unless, my darling, you forget

Turn off the charm,
I'm through with love for a while!
I'm through, and yet
You have a fabulous smile,
So if I forget;

Remind me not to find you so attractive,
Remind me that the world is full of men!
When I start to miss you,
To touch your hand, to kiss you,
Remind me to count to ten!

I had a feeling when I met you
You'll drive me crazy if I let you;
Now all my efforts to forget you
Remind me I'm in love again!

I get my heart well in hand and I'm certain
That I can take you off, leave you alone.
Then you'll begin that begin again,
And boom, I give in again!

I have a will made of steel, my friend,
But when it's just about to bend,
Remind me not to mention that I love you,
Remind me to be sorry that we left.
Although I adore you,
Remind me to ignore you!

You're one thing I will regret,
So when your charms begin to blind me,
I'll simply tie my hands behind me!
Don't let me touch you, please remind me,
Unless, my darling, you forget!
