"How Can I Forget" lyrics

"How Can I Forget"
(originally by The Temptations)

Oh, you ask me to forget about you
Go out and find someone new
But that won't be easy, you see
After all the things you've done for me
Though I'm a man, ha, I ain't too proud to say
With you I stand tall and strong
But without you, girl, I'm nothing at all

How, how can I forget you?
After all you've done for me
Oh woman, you'll always be a part of me
Hey, yeah, I, I can't forget you
It's impossible, you see
Woman, you'll always be a part of me, ow!

Girl, I'm down on my bended knees
And I'm begging and pleading, begging and pleading
Woman, woman, don't set me free
Because like a snowman in the sun
My life was wasting away
Girl, your love gave me hope and strength
You're the reason I'm alive today
Girl, you don't realize what your love means to me
It's more precious than the air I breathe

How, how can I forget you?
After all you've done for me
Oh, you'll always be a part of me
I, I can't forget you
It's impossible, you see
Girl, you'll always be a part of me

How, how can I forget you, now?
After all you've done for me
Oh, you'll always be a part of me
I, I can't forget you
