Marvin Gaye - How Can I Forget lyrics

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]
