I Forgot to Be Your Lover Lyrics

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?Now I realize that you need love, too
And I'll spend my life making love to you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorryHave I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
And have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?Oh, I've been workin' for you doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you somehow, babyI 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 loverIf you forgive me, I'll make it up to you
I'm only a man and I forgot
Oh, I forgot
