[Verse 1]
Lately when I call
You're never, never home
High as a mountain
Stand my jealousy bone
There was a time
Without a doubt I was a star
Now even when I'm in your arms
You'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 said
You won't see me again
Clouds are too low, ha
Not to be rain
There's one little grey cloud
That spells out my name
So I'm getting ready
For 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 complain
Of the little things I do
Don't say funny little things
That used to satisfy you
Those [?] little cards
I pushed beneath your door
They don't, no, make you laugh
You 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 it
It's not just the words you say
I feel like a broom you push around each day, baby
But don't you get it over
If you're through, close the door
Don't leave me half open
I'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)
