[Intro]
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever and ever, forever girl

[Verse 1]
Don't know why we had an argument
All I know is that my baby left
Now I'm looking at a photograph
Thinking all about the time we spent
And I can't even begin to start
You're not here, it tears me apart
But you gotta know that I need you
Girl I'm lost and don't know where to go to
I need you baby

[Chorus]
Girl I'm missing you, need you in my life
Cause I thought we'd be in love for a long time
Even if you're gone you'll be on my mind
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever and ever, forever girl

[Verse 2]
I don't want to hang out no more
Tell me what am I going for?
If you ain't been in love
And I don't want to see you with another man
This is crazy, all you gotta do is come back
Baby, if you want the world then I'll get that
Girl you know that I need you, please tell me what I need to do
Oh, I'm so tired to be without you

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Why I got to keep going through changes
You're the reason that I breathe
Every girl to me is nothing but a stranger
Girl I know you're the one for me
Tell me what I'm going to be without your love
To be your friend is not enough
Come back to me girl
You forever, you forever

[Chorus] [x2]

[Outro]
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever and ever, forever girl
