[Intro]
*(Instrumental: Smooth bassline, airy F minor chords, low-pass filtered)*
[Verse 1]
(Bobby Caldwell)
I guess you wonder where I’ve been
Searchin’ for a trace of how it all began
I’ve been hidin’ from the truth
Tryna find the words to tell you, oh
[Pre-Chorus Transition]
*(Drums fade in, syncopated groove builds)*
(Bassline unfilters, percussion intensifies)
[Chorus]
(Michael McDonald)
I keep forgettin’ we’re not in love anymore!
I keep forgettin’ things will never be the same again!
(Bobby Caldwell harmony swells beneath)
Can’t seem to get you off my mind—
What you won’t do, do for love...
[Verse 2]
(Bobby)
You’ve been runnin’ through my dreams
Like a ghost I can’t outrun—
(Michael ad-lib)
*Oh, it’s a fool’s parade!*
(Bobby)
Promises we couldn’t keep—
(Michael ad-lib)
*Nothin’ left to say!*
(Bobby)
But I’d do anything...
[Dual Chorus Blend]
(Michael - Left channel)
I KEEP FORGETTIN’!
(Bobby - Right channel, harmonizing)
*What you won’t do...*
(Michael)
We’re not in love anymore!
(Bobby)
*Do for love...*
(Michael)
Can’t seem to get you off my mind—
(Both, layered)
I keep forgettin’... What you won’t do...
[Breakdown]
*(Stripped: Bass + electric piano groove)*
*(Sparse, yacht-soul instrumental)*
[Final Chorus]
(Michael, full emotion)
I KEEP FORGETTIN’ WE’RE NOT IN LOVE ANYMORE!
(Bobby’s backing vocals shimmer)
*Anymore... anymore...*
I keep forgettin’ things will never be the same again!
*Same again...*
What you won’t do... do for love...
[Outro]
*(Fades with Bobby’s bassline & chord motif, airy and unresolved)*
