David Ruffin - The Forgotten Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]Lately when I callYou're never, never homeHigh as a mountainStand my jealousy boneThere was a timeWithout a doubt I was a starNow even when I'm in your armsYou're so close but yet so far[Chorus]I'm afraid, I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man, baby(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)[Verse 2]Although you haven't saidYou won't see me againClouds are too low, haNot to be rainThere's one little grey cloudThat spells out my nameSo I'm getting readyFor the downpour of pain[Chorus]I'm afraid, I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man, baby(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)[Verse 3]Lately you complainOf the little things I doDon't say funny little thingsThat used to satisfy youThose [?] little cardsI pushed beneath your doorThey don't, no, make you laughYou don't like them anymore[Chorus]I'm afraid, I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man, woo(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)I'm so afraid I've become the forgotten man, baby(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)[Verse 4]I can't place my finger on itIt's not just the words you sayI feel like a broom you push around each day, babyBut don't you get it overIf you're through, close the doorDon't leave me half openI've got to know for sure[Chorus]I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)Oh, I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man, baby(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)I can't place my finger on it(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)Although you said we are through, baby, you won't see me, woo(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)I'm afraid I've become the, I've become the forgotten man(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)I'm so afraid I've become the forgotten man(I'm afraid I've become the forgotten man)
