Whatsername (Broadway) Lyrics
[JOHNNY]
Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face, but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry old what's-his-face?
[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
I made a point to burn all of the photographs (Photographs)
She went away and then I took a different path (Different path)
[JOHNNY]
I remember the face, but I can't recall the name
[ALL]
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
[ALL]
Remember (Remember), whatever (Whatever)
It seems like forever ago
Remember (Remember), whatever (Whatever)
It seems like forever ago
Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face, but I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry old what's-his-face?
[JOHNNY & WHATSERNAME]
I made a point to burn all of the photographs (Photographs)
She went away and then I took a different path (Different path)
[JOHNNY]
I remember the face, but I can't recall the name
[ALL]
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
[ALL]
Remember (Remember), whatever (Whatever)
It seems like forever ago
Remember (Remember), whatever (Whatever)
It seems like forever ago
[JOHNNY]
The regrets are useless, in my mind (Remember, remember, whatever, whatever)
She's in my head, I must confess (It seems like forever ago)
The regrets are useless, in my mind (Remember, remember, whatever, whatever)
She's in my head from so long ago (It seems like forever ago)
[ALL]
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go
[ALL]
And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
[JOHNNY]
Forgetting you, but not the time
The regrets are useless, in my mind (Remember, remember, whatever, whatever)
She's in my head, I must confess (It seems like forever ago)
The regrets are useless, in my mind (Remember, remember, whatever, whatever)
She's in my head from so long ago (It seems like forever ago)
[ALL]
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go
[ALL]
And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
[JOHNNY]
Forgetting you, but not the time
