A Lover Is Forever Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think I understand
The reason you won't stay with me
You think a ring upon your hand
Will solve your insecurity
So go ahead and play your games
If that's what you must do
Nothing here remains the same
But the way I feel for you
[Pre-Chorus]
I can watch you walk away
And I know I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey, I can't tell a lie
[Chorus]
Figure out what you must do
Because you think you're so damn clever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
I can watch you walk away
And I know I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey, I can't tell a lie
I think I understand
The reason you won't stay with me
You think a ring upon your hand
Will solve your insecurity
So go ahead and play your games
If that's what you must do
Nothing here remains the same
But the way I feel for you
[Pre-Chorus]
I can watch you walk away
And I know I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey, I can't tell a lie
[Chorus]
Figure out what you must do
Because you think you're so damn clever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
I can watch you walk away
And I know I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey, I can't tell a lie
[Chorus]
Figure out what you must do
Because you think you're so damn clever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
[Outro]
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
Figure out what you must do
Because you think you're so damn clever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
[Outro]
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
