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 sorry Have 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, baby 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
