I know we got some history
We got some issues that we need to solve
But is it really such a mystery?
It's just the way that the world evolves
Let me ask your forgiveness, baby
My heart is ever full of sorrow
We got to move into the future maybe
And think about a new tomorrow
She said, "You know, I used to love you baby
But you're thinking way too fast"
ย
So forget about the future
And let's get on with the past
ย
So they called a 'nited nations summit
To negotiate for peace on earth
And it may be idealistic baby
But I know what peace of mind is worth
Everybody aired their grievances
And they threw away the suture
They opened up all the wounds of the past
As they failed to find their way to the future
They said, "We'd better check the weather chart"
Before we tie our colors to this mast
ย
It's just too hard thinking about the future, baby
So let's just get on with the past
ย
She said, "We'd better check the horoscope, honey"
Just in case this feeling wasn't meant to last
It's just too hard thinking about the future
So let's just get on with the past
ย
How many times you ever hear me say
"I'm as flawed as any other human being?"
There simply has to be a different way
And a whole new way of seeing
Are we doomed by all our history?
Is our love really beyond repair?
It's getting close to midnight, baby
And we ain't got time to spare
Just when I think I'm home and dry
And she's given up the fight
There's an unmistakable optimism
In romantic music and candlelight
There's this lingering perfume
The merest ghost of the past
She says, "Wait a minute baby
You're moving way too fast"
We'd better check the weather chart
Before we raise this mast
We'd best consult our horoscope
In case this feeling wasn't meant to last
Let's just forget about the future
ย
And get on with the past
ย
Never mind the future
Let's get on with the past
Never mind, never mind
Never mind the future
Let's just get on with the past
ย
Let's get on with the past, whoa
Get on with the past
Let's get it on with the past
Let's go with it
