John Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. Hiatt's songs were covered successfully by everyone from Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, and Dr. Feelgood to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and the Neville Brothers, yet it took him 13 years to reach the charts himself. Of course, it nearly took him that long to find his own style. Hiatt began his solo career in 1974, and over the next decade he ran through a number of different styles from rock & roll to new wave pop before he finally settled on a rootsy fusion of rock & roll, country, blues, and folk with his 1987 album Bring the Family.

Forever Yours Lyrics
John Hiatt
These days its hard to have fun
Looking for a little girl, a little undone
By the progress of man
By the touch of a loving hand
Maybe we touch too much
You and me, baby, Im not good in a clutch
Im not gonna sit and cry
Though Im an unlucky guy
Im forever wondering
Chorus:
Forever yours
Forever yours
Forever opening doors
Forever yours
Forever yours
Forever
All this allegiance has me scared
They move in packs, we huddle in pairs
Two in a million one-way fares
Anybody going anywhere?
So this is the modern dance
You and me, baby, this love dont stand a chance
But Im not gonna sit and cry
Though Im an unlucky guy
Im forever wondering
Chorus
Yours to have and yours to unfold
Whos to say were just getting old
Youre the one never done what I told her
This chip on my shoulder is
Getting smaller by the day
Just when I was getting used to getting my way
Everybody has a to pay
When love finally has her say
I guess I better speak up now
You and me, baby, Im holding on somehow
Im not gonna sit and cry
No, Im just a lucky guy
Im forever wondering, forever wondering
Chorus
