Lyrics sheet: https://mnsongwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/formidable/10/Im-Not-Your-Forever-Man.rtf

Lyrics:

VERSE 1:
Another magic night together
Sorry but I can’t stay
Gotta get back to my own place
You know I need my own space

VERSE 2:
I truly care about you
But not looking to start a new life
Don’t want to drive no minivan
Baby you need to understand

CHORUS:
I’m not your forever man
That’s not who I am
Not ready to settle down
I need more time to run around
I’m not your forever man

VERSE 3:
Don’t want to cause you pain
There’s nothing I’m trying to hide
I want to treat you with respect
By telling you what to expect

VERSE 4:
No use in trying to change me
I’m not a bronco you can tame
There well may come a day
When I’ll break loose and run away

BRIDGE:
We have a good thing going
Who knows when it might end
As long as we are both clear-eyed
We can kick back and enjoy the ride

CHORUS:
I’m not your forever man
That’s not who I am
Not ready to settle down
I need more time to run around
I’m not your forever man
