Cover art for I Keep Forgettin' lyrics by David Bowie

This is one of Bowie's covers on the album Tonight, besides the Beach Boys' 'God Only Knows.' This is pretty much the complete opposite of a pleasant love song. This man is stubborn, trying to get the girl back when he knows that she doesn't love him anymore, but there's something in the back of his mind saying 'I still have a chance. She still loves me.' But when he yet again attempts to get her back, he gets rejected. How lovely.
