Karen:
They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small


Ivy:
I suffered each indignity

But now rise above it all

Karen:

Yes, the price I payed was all I had

Ivy:

But at last I found release

Karen:

And if something good can come from that

Both:

The past could rest in peace

Karen:

So if you see someone hurt and in need of a hand
Don't forget me


Ivy
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
Don't forget me


Karen:
When you sing "Happy Birthday" to someone you love


Ivy:
Or see diamonds you wish were all free


Both:
Please say that you won't

I pray that you don't forget me

Karen:

But forget every man that I ever met

Ivy:

'Cause they all only live to control

Karen:

For a kiss they payed a thousand

Ivy:

Yet, they paid 50 cents for my soul

Karen:

They took their piece, the price of fame
That no one can repay


Ivy:
Ah, but they didn't buy me when they bought my name
And that is why I pray


Karen:
That if you see someone's hurt or in need of a hand


Both:
Don't forget me


Ivy:
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand


Both:
Don't forget me


Ivy:
When you sing "Happy Birthday" to someone you love


Karen:
Or see diamonds you wish were all free


Both:
Please say that you won't
I pray that you won't forget me


Ivy:
There are some in this world who have strength of their own

Karen:
Never broken or in need of repair


Ivy:
But there are some born to shine who can't do it alone

Both:

So protect them and take special care
Take care
And don't forget me
Please take care
And don't forget me


Ivy:
When you look to the heavens with someone you love
And a light's shining bright from afar

Karen:

Hope you see my face there
And then offer a prayer

Both:
And please let me be
Let me be the star
