Intro – iconic synth riff + gated drum snap + crowd cheer
♪ Hey hey hey hey… ♪

Verse 1 – strong, earnest vocal
Won’t you come see about me?
I’ll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby…
Tell me your troubles and doubts,
Giving me everything inside and out…
Love’s strange, so real in the dark…
Hold me now, touch me now…
I don’t want to wake up alone…
Pre-Chorus – building synths + rising guitar
Don’t you forget about me…
I’ll be alone, dancing…
Don’t you forget about me…
I’ll be running in the dark…

Verse 2 – more emotional, layered harmonies
Won’t you come see about me?
I’ll be here, waiting, you know it’s true…
Show me the way to your heart,
I’m the one who’s been waiting for you.
We’re the kids from the Breakfast Club,
Detention dreams, hearts full of love.
We’re breaking the rules, we’re breaking the chain,
Don’t you forget about me — we’ll meet again.
Pre-Chorus – bigger, more urgent
Don’t you forget about me…
I’ll be alone, dancing…
Don’t you forget about me…
I’ll be running in the dark…
