LOVE FORGOT

Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller

(album: LUTHER VANDROSS - 2001)





Learn to love and you learn to survive

My mistake was thinking love wouldn't catch me

It was the story of my life

I awakened seeing with new eyes

I begged forgiveness, but love wouldn't hear me

Taught you to fear me, baby



Love forgot we used to be just fine

And love forgot about the tender times

Love forgot to ask you if you'd wanna give me

Give me one more try

Maybe love forgot this time  (This time)



Love can't love someone who breaks a vow

But I was not myself, my heart wasn't in it

I still loved you every minute

I could fix it, if you show me how

You didn't hear it from somebody else, I told you

Praying you'd let me hold you



(I can't believe)  Love forgot the power to forgive

(Impossible)  And love forgot that we depend on it

(It couldn't be)  Love forgot that it's the only way 

Our poetry will ever rhyme

I think love forgot this time  (This time)



Who would have ever known that I'd ever be tempted

But, I'm hoping  (Love will show me)  What to do

'Cuz if it was all so easy

Then anybody else coulda shown me

I don't understand how you wouldn't know

I never even meant it



(I can't believe)  Did love forget this was the only time

(Impossible)  Did love forget I tried to set things right

(It couldn't be)  Did love forget to remember 

That regret lives in this heart of mine

Maybe love forgot this time, Oh yeah



(I can't believe)  Love forgot the power to forgive

(Impossible)  And love forgot that we depend on it

(It couldn't be)  Love forgot that it's the only way 

That poetry will ever rhyme

Maybe love forgot this time  (This time)



Lily  (Did you forget this time)  Yeah

(Did you forget this time)  My my my

Tell me love, don't love

(Don't forget me now)  Hey love



Love, I'm asking

Oh love, oh love

(Don't forget me now)  I know better

My love  (Did you forget somehow)

Tell me love  (Did you forget somehow)
