Well, you keep running 'round with my heart
And baby, it just ain't right
For me to sit alone at home
Each and every night
For that one little phonecall
That I know won't ever come
And the feeling hits me so hard
That it leaves my body numb
But baby I know (I know)
That this can't last (I know)
I know, (I know) changes gonna come (I know)
No, this can't last (I know) forever
Forever's much too long
♪
Well, I tried and tried to please you
But still, it did no good
Darling what is there that I can do
To make you act the way you should
Because I can still remember
The way you held me tight
But I still can't help but wonder
If you hold someone else tonight
But baby, I know (I know)
That this can't last (I know)
I know, (I know) changes gonna come (I know)
No, this can't last (I know) forever
Forever's much too long
A-ha too long
Well now, too much givin' to you
And not enough takin' for me
I've been wantin' your love for so long
That I was too blind to see
All the guys in town you dated
Well, they were just like me
Why can't I be the one you love
Instead of just your in-between
Darling I can take the heartache
And the pain you put me through
But I don't think I can take
The thought of ever losing you
But baby, I know (I know)
That this can't last (I know)
I know, (I know) changes gonna come (I know)
No, this can't last (I know) forever
Forever's much too long
Ohhhh—ohhhhh
Forever's much too long
Mmmmh-mmmmh
Forever's much too long
