Lyrics
Darlin’ forever, forever, you can break my heart forever
If you want to
I’ll play the part of a fool
Just to be with you forever
Darlin’ forever, forever you can torment me
Take my love for granted, but I’ll always be just a fool (just a fool)
If I, if I could be with you
I’ll be your slave for the rest of, of my days
Love you more in so, so many ways
Just to be with you thrills me
Through and through
And darlin’ forever (forever), forever (forever), you can torment me (forever)
Take my love for granted, but I’ll always be just a fool (just a fool, just a fool)
If I, if I could be with you
Darlin’ forever, forever
No matter what you say, I do
I’ll always, I’ll always-
