I Forgot
Lionel Richie · Other Songs - Lionel Richie
I'm standing here all alone, trying to get back to you
I know I did you wrong by walking away, but now I need to tell you
I know now, what we had was a good thing
I know now, how much I'm lost girl without you, without you
I forgot it was your love that captured my mind
I forgot it was your dreams that turned my life around
I forgot it was your world I wanted to see
I forgot it was my wish to make it you and me
Tell me what do I do
I'm going out of my head, I'm wanting and missing you
I can't believe where I am
What have I done to myself ? Girl I didn't mean to hurt us
I see now that your love was all I needed
I see now how much I was wrong, so forgive me, so forgive me
I forgot it was your love that captured my mind
I forgot it was your dreams that turned my life around
I forgot it was your world I wanted to see
I forgot it was my wish to make it you and me
Tell me what do I do
I'm going out of my head, I'm wanting and missing you
I can't believe where I am
What have I done to myself ? I really didn't mean to hurt us
I see now I didn't have to play the game I played
I see now that I was wrong, so wrong
Can you hear me ? Please forgive me
I forgot it was your love that captured my mind
I forgot it was your dreams that turned my life around
I forgot it was your world I wanted to see
I forgot it was my wish to make it you and me
I forgot about you, I forgot about me
I forgot about all the things we wanted together
I forgot about the dreams, I forgot about the dreams
I wanna get to back to it, I wanna get back to those dreams
I forgot about, I forgot about it
I forgot about it, I forgot about it love
I forgot about you, I forgot about me
Just get back together, just get back together
Forgot about me, forgot about you
Our love together, I wanna make it all come true
I forgot about you.
