"Forget About Love" is a romantic love song sung by Iago, Jasmine, and Aladdin in the sequel The Return of Jafar.
Jasmine is upset with the fact that Aladdin's been hiding Iago in the palace. The event puts their relationship on the line and it looks like they might break up. Since Aladdin stood up for Iago, and with a little persuasion from Genie, they decide to patch things up by using reverse psychology.
The song ends with a very brief instrumental interlude taken from "A Whole New World".
Lyrics[]
Iago: Forget about that guy
Forget about the way you fell into his eyes
Forget about his charms
Forget about the way he held you in his arms
Walking on air's obnoxious
The thrills, the chills will make you nauseous
And you'll never get enough
Just forget about love
She's buying it. Now make with the magic!
Forget about romance
Forget about the way your heart begins to dance
Then you feel the blush
When he's spouting out some sentimental mush
Love really is revolting
It's even worse than when you're molting
Enough of this fluff — just forget about love!
Jasmine: I had almost forgotten the way it felt
When he held out his hand for mine
My heart all a-flutter
Iago: Oh, how I shudder
Jasmine: The first time we kissed
Iago: It won't be missed
Forget about his touch
Jasmine: I can't forget about his touch
Iago: In the scheme of things it doesn't matter much
Jasmine: It matters so much
Iago: You're better on your own
A meal becomes a banquet when you eat alone
Jasmine/Iago: Love's filled with compromises
Iago: And don't you hate those big surprises?
Jasmine: A cozy rendezvous
Iago: Oh, please!
Jasmine: Candlelight for two
Iago: Oh, geez!
Jasmine: Look you're calling my bluff, I can't —
Jasmine/Iago: (Just) forget about love!
Jasmine: I can't forget about my heart
Aladdin: I can't forget about my heart
Jasmine: And how it felt to fall for you right from the start
Aladdin: I'm still falling
Jasmine: Whatever we may do
Aladdin: Whatever we may do
Jasmine: You are here for me and I'll be there for you
Aladdin: I'll be there —
Aladdin/Jasmine: To wish, to want, to wonder
To find the sun through rain and thunder
Aladdin: A cozy rendezvous
Jasmine: Yes, please!
Aladdin: Candlelight for two
Iago: Oh, geez!
Enough is enough!
Aladdin/Jasmine: We can't forget about love!
