(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Baby it won't take long to forget you
Time it passes fast
It'll all be over in a minute
You'll be in the past
You can lose the love of a lifetime
In a single roll
You can gain a fortune in an instant
Or you can lose your soul
And it won't take long to forget ya
You know I'm never wrong
It'll all be over in a minute
And it won't take long
And it won't take long to forgive ya
But it's hard to forget
'Cause it seems like it's yesterday
The day that we first met
When you give me a smouldering look and
Put out your cigarette
When I saw you come samtering over
You wore a pale blue dress
(Repeat Chorus)
Life is short, one look and it's over
Comes as quite a shock
All I got is some memories
Stuck in an old shoebox
And it won't take long to forget ya
You know I'm never wrong
It'll all be over by Christmas
No, it won't take long
It won't take long
