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
[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
