Joe Cocker - I Keep Forgetting

From Heart & Soul Album...

Composers : Jerry Leiber , Mike Stoller

This song is Chuck Jackson cover

Lyrics :

I keep forgetting you don't love me no more
I keep forgetting you don't want me no more
I keep forgetting that you told me that you
Didn't want me around anymore
But these stupid old feet
Just head for your street
Like they've done so many times before
And this stubborn old fist
At the end of my wrist
Keeps knocking on your front door

I keep forgetting you don't love me no more
I keep forgetting you don't want me no more
I keep forgetting about those heartbreaking nights
Ant those heartbreaking things that you said
Though it's plain as can be
You're finished with me
I can't believe our love is dead
Though I know in my heart
We've drifted apart
I just can't get it through my head.

What a great song by a great singer

Thanks for the lyrics & the post .

@greatbighand yes it's the traditional arrangement, but that's appropriate. Nothing to get in the way of Joe Cocker's true power of emotion and virtuoso singing. IMO.

@divebobber Based on her prior performances, I think Haley would have a hard time with the fast-yet-annunciated lyric delivery required to pull off "I'm a Woman" and she is much more appealing when she shows emotion and vulnerability (as opposed to trying to be sexy or dominating). IMHO, her best performance to date was "House of the Rising Sun" which was neither fast nor sung from an "I'm tough/sexy" point of view -- hence my doubts about "I'm a Woman" being a good song choice for her.

@mohansen11 I think Haley can pull off "I'm a Woman" and hope she does it. I think she'd NAIL it. we'll see.

@sincerelady777 This would be a great song for Haley, and I'd love to see her do this (and I'm fearing she'll choose "I'm a Woman" instead-- which I don't think she can pull off).

Hailee from American Idol needs to do this song next week. She'd slay it!

I don't think he nails it as I expected he would when I found he had recorded it: a pity as this song is one of those he easily makes his own. Even the arrangement doesn't help: too unimaginative.
