Forever Man Lyrics

How many times must I tell you babe,
How many bridges I've got to cross?
How many times must I explain myself
Before I can talk to the boss,
'Fore I can talk to the boss?

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.

Second Verse

Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.

Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Forever man, forever man, forever man.
Try to be your forever man.

Typical 80's love song about how he'll always be there there for her. Great beat though.

It's a GREAT song!

Cover art for Forever Man lyrics by Eric Clapton

For a long time I thought he was saying Four Letter Man. I would sing along in the car to this song saying "Four Letter Man, Letter Man, Letter Man..." I was disappointed when I found out it was Forever Man. I like Four Letter Man better.

It sounds like he's saying: "Before I can talk to the boys" instead of "talk to the boss", plus it sounds like he's saying: "Rebel man, rebel man, rebel mmn" towards the end.

Lyric Correction

@jokingkong I always heard it as "Rebel Man" :~))
