I Forgot to Be Your Lover
Ooh (Ooh)
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't darling, I'm sorry
Did I reach out and hold you in my lovin' 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 (I'm so sorry)
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry (I'm so sorry)
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
Have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?
I've been working for you, doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
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
I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I'm only a man
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I'm sorry
I forgot to be your lover
Now I realize that you need love too
And I'll spend my life making love to you
I've been working for you, doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
Oh, yeah yeah yeah, I forgot to be your lover
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Oh I'm sorry, yeah
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't darling, I'm sorry
Did I reach out and hold you in my lovin' 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 (I'm so sorry)
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry (I'm so sorry)
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
Have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?
I've been working for you, doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
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
I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I'm only a man
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I'm sorry
I forgot to be your lover
Now I realize that you need love too
And I'll spend my life making love to you
I've been working for you, doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
Oh, yeah yeah yeah, I forgot to be your lover
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Oh I'm sorry, yeah
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
