Cook, David - Don't You (Forget About Me) Lyrics






Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you all my name?

I say :
La la la...

  12. A.... H....

    I don't know who David Cook is, but he did a fabulous job on this cover. I favor more hard rock and heavy metal and yeah this is a pretty good rock version. and I love the lyrics because a Christian band wrote it and basically it's God speaking to us about not forgetting him and trusting him and allowing him to work out our problems, our flaws, and help us with our battles.

    A.... H....

    He won American Idol Season 7. The best male winner by far.

    Now i found this great cover!!!

  45. N.... F....

    I like it better than the original... love David's rasp.

    N.... F....

    +Ray Saudia I agree with you Ray some songs just cant be cover you want to have more laughs listen to some covers of AHA- TAKE ON ME or covers of MJ -Beat it ,Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight, wahaha don't get me wrong not saying this guy is a bad singer its the tone of his voice he just doesn't have  that code to unlock that 100 pound vault its going to take somebody VERY SPECIAL A JACK OF ALL TRADES  to do the unthinkable get what iam saying.

    N.... F....

    Me too! He reminds me of Bruce Springsteen!

    N.... F....

    @Ray Saudia songs live on when they get covered. The fact you have to pick one to feel good shows how much of a tard you are.

    N.... F....

    OMG yassss I am living for that rasp xo

    N.... F....

    @Ray Saudia shut up boomer

  46. L.... ....

    107 ppl needs an ear check!!His covers are just incredible!! <3

  47. k.... r....

    Although I do love the original, I absolutely love this cover:)

    k.... r....

    I come here every so often to copy the "absolutely" because I forget how to spell it, so I come here to this very post! thank you, sir.

    k.... r....

    @kyon9898 you're so very welcome!
     

    k.... r....

    @kelley roberts

  48. T.... D....

  51. y.... m....

  52. 0.... ....

    I never thoght of this song as Sexy until hearing Mr. Cook's version...Love it when he sings in his lower register.

  53. R.... O....

    finally found great cover..

    R.... O....

    agree...the original one is the best....but david makes it hit again

  54. M.... R....

    Nunca se esqueça de Mim!

  55. N.... T....

    IMO, this version is better than "Simple Minds"

  56. O.... P....

    Better than the original song imo

  57. b.... l....

    this version rocks like billy idol

  58. R.... N....

    Me too

  59. j.... ....

    oh please ,this is a good version but :SIMPLE MINDS ARE THE BEST!no bullshit!thank youuuu!!!!

    j.... ....

    simple minds singer sounds too gay....eewwwww...ewww reminds me of two guys assfking...eeekk. please move ahead......this song is better than all that

  60. N.... J....

    yeah i love that movie :)

  61. i.... ....

    Breakfast Club brought me here!

  62. A.... T....

    I like this version more than Simple Minds'.

  63. d.... ....

    Such an amazing journey, mine was quite similar except I skipped watchiing breakfast club.

  64. d.... v....

    Breakfast club yeas!!!

  65. F.... ....

    Going to like this while people still remember what music is.

  66. A.... Q....

    Pitch Perfect brought me to The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club brought me to Simple Minds. Simple Minds brought me here : )

  67. B.... ....

    Coming from a rock and jazz point of view, this is a guy who's truely tallented. I've heard a lot of pop singers also rock, but none and I mean none like David can. I'd be extremely proud to go to his show, followed by a Black Sabbath show and would feel absolutely siked to see both.

  68. l.... ....

    Maybe because everyone is obsessed with pit bull thrift shop exc come on cook bring back the good times not this shitty genres we call music

  69. K.... ....

    gaaawwwd i hate those "Pitch perfect brought me here" ...sick of it. What about Simple Minds and Breakfast Club?

    David did a good job though...

    K.... ....

    Pitch perfect is pretty badass!

  70. l.... l....

    me 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAH

  71. l.... ....

    we roland! we love shawn!!!! and david cook :) uh yeah

  72. 0.... ....

    Don't think it''ll be possible for people to "Forget" about him after hearing his new single "Laying Me Low"out now on Amazon and iTunes.So different but UNDENIABLY DAVID COOK!!! So proud to be fan of an artist that is not afraid to change things UP.

  73. B.... T....

    Not half bad, this! The Minds-guys would be PROUD!

  74. F.... R....

    oh yeah :)

  75. S.... A....

    Becca is the reason why im watching this ;)

  76. K.... S....

    What is your deal?

  77. u.... ....

    You are really fucking ugly

  78. N.... ....

    Hey hey hey ! Another awesome "cover" for D~Man! David Cook iS the VOice !!

  79. M.... ....

    whoa!! total "eargasm"!! *hitting play button for the millionth and one time* =)
    .....and yes, I mega-loved the original back then.

  80. a.... ....

    He'll yes I did pilgim! I always do that when this song comes on!

  81. i.... s....

    mmm i like it but victoria justice sing better

  82. 0.... ....

    I have such a CRUSH on this mans' VOICE....*sigh*

  83. G.... R....

    so good!so good!

  84. b.... l....

    david cook did a great job with song just like billy idol did on his greatest hits

  85. R.... A....

    yes me too!!

  86. A.... S....

    Who cares?? David COCK is my sex education teacher's name

  87. A.... B....

    Simple Mind didnt actually write this song. But they did sing it. And it was originally wrote just for The Breakfast Club (one of the best movies of all time)

  88. S.... ....

    The breakfast club <3

  89. S.... P....

    When I punch the air in jubilation for some reason, it is still Simple Mind's original version that comes to mind.
    The 88 could have made a good cover for this song. Heard some snippets on Community.

  90. /.... ....

    I'm in love with this song, and now, I'm more ADDICTED to this song! :D

  91. J.... ....

    My little sister likes this.

  92. a.... n....

    "pitch perfect" brought me here. (:

    Obviously you have blinders on when it comes to someone from American Idol..You are judging him by one song..too bad you've never seen him in concert...he just oozes personality and has amazing stage presence..he can rock your socks off one minute then seemlessly transition to a beautiful ballad or love song that pulls at your heart strings,and acoustically he is dynamite! His vocal versatilty is what keeps me and many other fans coming back for more. You take Billy Idol and I'll take Cook!

  94. P.... Y....

    Compare with Billy Idol. This bloke whoever he is has no presence, no personality. I don't know, maybe this passes for talent these days. Also, taste is a very personal thing. To my ears there's too much of a cheesy American accent. A generic, American, "rawk" voice. There's enough of these in music. The "don't" sounds so strained unlike Billy's natural growl or Kerr's haunting intonation.

    Just sounds cheap and, well, American Idol really :)

  95. 0.... ....

    Ummmm you totally lost me after your second sentence....David Cook doesn't have a strong Voice??? Don't know if your listening with both ears !

  96. H.... L....

    Why do u have a picture of hitler as your profile pic....

  97. U.... ....

    smartest 10 year old ever .....

  98. N.... ....

    Beautiful. :)
