  • How many times must I tell you baby
    How many bridges I've got to cross
    How many times must I swear to myself
    Before I can talk to the boss
    Before I can talk to the boss

    [Repeat: x2]
    How many times must I say I love you
    Before you finally understand
    Won't you be my forever woman
    I'll try to be your forever man
    Try to be your forever man

    Forever man, forever man, forever man
    Forever man, forever man, forever man
    I'll try to be your forever man
    Forever man, forever man, forever man
    Forever man, forever man, forever man
    Forever man, forever man, forever man
    I'll try to be your forever man Writer/s: Jerry Lynn Williams

  • Celeste from FloridaScorching hot. That voice that guitar are irresistible. I'd be his forever woman.
  • Michael from Columbus, Ohcolumbus, ohio that is
  • Michael from Columbus, Orhe is now married to a 30 year old gal in my home town of columbus, ohio
  • Bradley from Winchester, Nh"Forever Man" was featured in the movie "Space Camp", currently on DVD. It's in the background when Tate Donovan's character drives his Jeep to the space camp parking lot.
  • Stefanie Magura from Rock Hill, ScI agree woth you Bryan. The '80's did ruin some acts that would have been good otherwise. Musically I mean. It was the '80's sound that did it.
  • Brian from Grand Forks, Nda completely disapointing album from the Great Eric Clapton... Too many cooks in the kitchen... It was his 2nd album on Warner Brothers... His First album didn't as well as expected so the heat was turned up for this one... It was originally produced by Phil Collins and he added that shameful 80's sound to it... But, the Record Execs were not happy with it so they threw 2 more producers at the project... Larry Waronker and Ted Templeman of Doobie Brothers and Van Halen fame... The result was 80's sounding crap that actually had a lot Eric's Guitar Work mixed down... It's Shameful... Although, on it's own merit... This song "Forever Man" is a pretty well written song... Just way way way way way way way overproduced... The 80's ruined many a good act...
