(Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong)
|
They ask me to forget about you
|
Go out and find someone new
|
But that won't be eas', you see
|
After all the things you've done for me
|
Told the men I ain't too proud to say
|
With you I stand tall and strong
|
'Cause without you, girl, I'm nothin' at all
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
How, how can I forget ya?
|
After all you've done for me
|
Oh woman, you'll always be a part of me
|
I, I can't forget you
|
It's impossible, you see
|
Woman, you'll always be a part of me
|
|
Girl, I'm down on my bended knees
|
And I'm beggin' you please, beggin' you please
|
Woman, woman, don't set me free
|
'Cause right this moment in the sun
|
My life was wastin' 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 evergreens
|
|
[Repeat chorus and fade]
