Lyrics
- ‘Twas in the park, just after dark
He met her there by chance
She won him with a glance
He asked her if she’d go with him
For a little walk and a quiet talk
Told her that she was the only girl he did adore
And he told her more
But she said, “I’ve heard all that before”
“I like you, that is true, but really you won’t do
Chorus
You remind me of someone I want to forget
My only regret is that we ever met
For your smile and your style is exactly the same
I know it’s a shame to have loved me in vain
You remind me of someone who said he’d be true
And he talked just like you
I’d surely hate to lose you
But by Gosh! I must refuse you
You remind me of someone I’m trying to forget
- Said he, bright eyes I see you’re wise
But put me to the test
I’m different from the rest
I’ll furnish up a home for you
Buy you diamond rings and lots of other things
Then she answered smilingly
Well, that is nice of you
But what good will it do?
You’re just like the other chap I knew
And I’m wise to your game
All fellows are the same
