Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I sing this song to remind myself that

[Verse 2]

There was a time

When I

Didn't have no one

Didn't have no love

[Verse 3]

Do you remember

The love that we once had

Well, if I had the chance to love you again

I would make your heart forget I was ever bad

Oh no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 4]

If we forgive the past

I know this time love would last

Forever, for always

For love, yeah, yeah

[Verse 5]

I'm not comin' home anymore

Does it matter?

Well, if I had the chance to hold you again

I would fill your heart with joy

[Verse 6]

Make you know that I'm the only one for you

Let's throw the bad memories out

And make this the first day of our

Forever, for always

For love

[Verse 7]

I'd be a fool to ever

Change

If she said she loves the way I

I am

[Verse 8]

I'd be a fool to ever

Change, yes, yes, yes

If she said she loves the way

I am

[Verse 9]

It's gonna be startin' here, startin' now

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Forever, for always

For love

[Verse 10]

Do it for the ones we love, and never let no one

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Forever, for always

For love, yeah, yeah

[Verse 11]

Forever, for always

For love

[Verse 12]

Don't you know, don't you know

Don't you know, don't you know

Forever, for always

For love, your love, your love, yeah, yeah

[Verse 13]

Hey, ooh

Oh, I'm in love

I can't help myself

Hey, yeah, ooh yeah

[Verse 14]

Comes from my heart

Straight from the heart

Forever, for always

For love

[Verse 15]

Gotta say it once again

I can't help myself, I can't
