Martha And The Vandellas - Come And Get These Memories Lyrics






Lover, you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories

Here's your old friendship ring
I can't wear it no more
Here's your old love letters
I can't read them any more

Lover, you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories

Here's that old teddy bear
(Come and get it)
That you won for me
At the state fair

Here's some old valentine cards
(Come and get em)
Give them to your new sweetheart

Lover, you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come and get em
Come and get em
Come and get em

Here's our old favorite record
(Come and get it)
I can't stand to hear it anymore

Here's some old lingering love
(Come and get it)
It's in my heart and
It's tearing it apart

Because of these memories
I never think of anybody but you
So, come on and get em
'Cause I found me somebody new

Come and get these memories
(Come and get em)
Since you've gone out of my life

So my mind and my
Heart can leave that easy
(Come and get em)
Since you've gone out of my life

Give them to your new love
Give them to your new love

So come on and get these memories
(Come and get em)
Since you've gone out of my life

    Found this song out from the openings of Bridesmaids movie from 1989 with Brooke Adams. Great song

  7. R.... M....

    I always wondered what this song would have sounded like with Diana Ross on lead and her Supremes

    R.... M....

    Broccoli Beefed I don’t think it would have sounded any better than this.

    R.... M....

    @Leebo . It would have sounded just as good or better with Diana's incredible phrasing.

    Mary Wilsons lead was better

  15. q.... ....

    back in those days motown didnt want other members of the girl groups singing lead vocals out of fear it could screw up their shit if you know what i mean. They had a formula and wanted to keep it that way which is why Martha Reeves was their lead singer. . If this tune was given to Flo Ballard she might have had her first lead vocal hit with the Supremes

  16. T.... G....

    Jamerson on bass!

  17. L.... S....

    Just like it was yesterday (1964) lol, I can remember sitting in the FOX Theatre, Downtown Detroit watching the MOTOWN REVIEW.

The complete MOTOWN family of Stars. One of the most cherished memories of my childhood

    I've found a ridiculous number of songs from Mr. Robot from Motown stuff like this to 2015 dubstep. It's crazy. And the comments section for all of them is full of Mr. Robot fans, it's awesome.

    God I'm gonna miss that show. There's nothing else like it.

  33. L.... ....

  40. T.... R....

    Motown had been around for a few years, but some consider this the first single (released in early 1963) to have the "Motown sound".

  41. E.... M....

    chills here

  42. B.... J....

    Loved this song here!!!

  43. J.... K....

    this and JimmyMac were their top two.A sad, sentimental song.The boyfriend, although left her for another, was prob getting his head shot off in Nam!

  51. l.... ....

    ONE OF THE MOST SOULFUL FEMALE GROUPS EVER. THE TEMPO OF THIS SONG IS PERFECT FOR THE BOP.

  52. 7.... ....

    Life was so good in these years, no terrorists beheading people, just god times, much safer, less problems of racism, the world is going nuts now! So SAD  Love this music!

    7.... ....

    The Govt wasn't adding problems or the media also, when I was growing up in the 60s one of my best friends was a black kid, we didn't see color, today the media really blows it up for ratings! Obama hasn't helped either, what has he done for my black brothers, spent 1.4 BILLION on his 17 vacations, could've helped so many black folks, he is only 1/2 black anyhow. The media just throws gas on the situation. I grew up in No. Cal at the time there wasn't segregation, probably just in the South? Have a great day, Dave

    7.... ....

    Thanks, hopefully we will rid the world of racism, everyone is the same in GODS eyes, relax everyone, love everyone, life is to short to be a hater! Chill, ENJOY your life, it's much easier on your heart, God bless, Dave

    7.... ....

    Racism on both sides.i was mugged in Franklin park, Boston in 1965 by a 12 year old black kid.I was 5...he took my change.We never went there again.The whites and Blacks in Boston really hated each other then.It was a 2 way street Guy

    7.... ....

    But we were dealing with Vietnam in the 60's, right?

  53. T.... ....

    Sooooo great! Life seems so good at this moment.

  54. F.... F....

    yep - so many memories!!

  55. J.... K....

    Music from the time prior to becoming a political statement, is glorious!

  63. E.... R....

    Martha & The Vandella's , one of the best girl groups on the Motown lineup, what an awesome , harmonizing, lovely song.Martha had such a strong beautiful voice. They just don't make it like ole school, played that record to death, thanks so much for the post and memories keep ole school alive.💕💟👍👍👍👌

    E.... R....

    The absolutely best way to amicably end a relationship!

    E.... R....

    It'd be great if all big cities were to have at least a couple of huge dance clubs, where they switch it up -- playing different genres different weeknights. They could vary the nights too; e.g., on Motown nights, focus on early Motown one night & later Motown on another. They would be playing to fans of different popular genres & time periods.

    They could do the same with rock, disco, R&B, Soul, Alternative, 50's music, all the way up to the present. It seems that with enough advertisements, and adjustments made along the way, there would be great potential!

    E.... R....

    LOVE MARTHA!!!

  64. s.... ....

    most of these songs i heard blasting out of the arcades down at revere beach in mass from am radio broadcasting from local Boston radio i was only 8,or 9 years old then i,m 59 now and its still in my mind

    Wonderful blending of fantastic voices giving life to so many wonderful songs!!  Thank you for this post.

  67. g.... ....

    Awesome voices. Somebody definitely knew what they were doing, when they signed the girls to a contract. My favorite song by Martha & The Vandellas, and they definitely belong in the group/class of Motown Legends!

  68. C.... B....

    martha reeves  shirelles marvrllettes sapphires supremes ronettes royalettes velvelettes dixie cups chiffons crystals man what a decade

    C.... B....

    I agree.  Just add The Shangri-Las, Little Eva, Dee Dee Sharp, The Orlons, The Essex, Barbara Lewis, The Angels, Ruby and the Romantics, & The Cookies to the mix

    C.... B....

    @Jon Bryan + Mary Wells, Rosie and the Originals, Kathy Young

  69. Y.... G....

    An awesome, yet creative video.....maybe you should get into the business of creating videos...and get paid for it....Thank you.....I needed to hear this song.....BIG TIME!!!! If you know what I mean!  

  70. K.... B....

    Really like the easy groove the Funk Brothers fall into, and this first hit is one of the ladies' best vocal performances...and it was one of H-D-H's first Motown hits as a team.

  71. M.... ....

    This was their best.

  72. J.... S....

    Very creative video and great song.

  73. R.... M....

    I wore this record out and then bought the album! Those were the GREAT days.
