Don’t Think of Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So you're with her not with me
I hope she's sweet and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully
A little angel beside you


So you're with her and not with me
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is small and clean
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be


[Chorus 1]
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me

[Verse 2]
So you're with her not with me
I know she spreads sweet honey
In fact your best friend, I heard he spent
Last night with her
Now how do you feel, how do you feel


[Chorus 2]
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
[Bridge]
Does it bother you now all the mess I made?
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear?
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played?
Does it bother you now when I'm not there?

[Chorus 2]
When you see her sweet smile baby
Don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms
Don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad
Don't think of me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Albeit not having a video, “Don’t Think of Me” was released as the second US single from Dido’s debut album, No Angel. While the other songs on this album feature trip-hop beats, and have electronica and acoustic influences, this is the most straight-forward Rock song on the album and in Dido’s entire discography.

The song first appeared as “Sweet Eyed Baby” on the promo CD Odds & Ends with the same lyrics but slower tempo and minimalistic instrumentation.
