Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't, darlin', I'm sorry
Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Oh, when you needed me?
[Verse 2]
Now, I realize that you need love too
And I'll spend my life makin' love to you
[Verse 3]
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
[Verse 4]
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burdens that lovers bear?
And have I done the little, simple things to show you
Just how much I care?
[Verse 5]
Oh, I've been workin' for you doin' all I can
But work all the time didn't make me a man
[Verse 6]
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you somehow, baby
[Verse 7]
I forgot to be your lover
Gonna make it up to you somehow
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
I forgot to be your lover
