Love Forgot

Luther Vandross

Learn to love and you learn to survive
My mistake was thinking love wouldn't catch me
It was the story of my life
I awakened seeing with new eyes
I begged forgiveness, but love wouldn't hear me
Taught you to fear me, baby

Love forgot we used to be just fine
And love forgot about the tender times
Love forgot to ask you if you'd wanna give me
Give me one more try
Maybe love forgot this time, this time (ooh…)

Love can't love someone who breaks a vow
But I was not myself, my heart wasn't in it
I still loved you every minute
I could fix it if you show me how
You didn't hear it from somebody else, I told you
Praying you'd let me hold you

(I can't believe) love forgot the power to forgive
(Impossible) and love forgot that we depend on it
(It couldn't be) love forgot that it's the only way
Our poetry will ever rhyme
I think of love forgot this time, this time

But who would have ever known
I'd ever be tempted, but I'm hopin'
Love will show me what to do (what to do)
Cuz if it was all so easy
Then anybody else coulda shown me
I don't understand how you wouldn't know
I never even meant it (oh, oh)

(I can't believe) did love forget this was the only time
(Impossible) did love forget I tried to set things right
(It couldn't be) did love forget to remember
That regret lives in this heart of mine
Maybe love forgot this time (oh, yeah)

(I can't believe) love forgot the power to forgive
(Impossible) and love forgot that we depend on it
(It couldn't be) love forgot that it's the only way
That poetry will ever rhyme
Maybe love forgot this time, this time (you are, you are)

Did you forget this time (yeah-ey, yeah…)
Did you forget this time 
(My, my, my, tell me love, don't love)
Don't forget me now 
(Hey, now, love I'm asking, oh, love, oh love)
Don't forget me now (I know that I, my love)
Did you forget somehow (oh…tell me love)
Did you forget somehow
