To Be a Lover
Woo!
Yeah! All right!
Have I told you
Yes, lately, that I love you?
If I didn't, now, darlin'
You see, I'm so sorry
Didn't I reach out and hold you
In these lovin' arms?
If I didn't, now, baby
You see, I'm so sorry, well
Now I realize that you need love too
Gonna spend my life makin' love to you
And I got to be a lover
Have mercy (have mercy)
I forgot to be a lover, baby (have mercy)
Forgot to be a lover (have mercy, baby)
I'm gonna make it on through to you somehow
I forgot to be a lover, baby
Woo! Yeah!
I said, did I ask you?
Oh, would you come and share
Share, oh, the burden and the task
That's at love's command?
Didn't I say
All those lovin' special things?
Oh, yes, I did
To show how much I care
Well, when I realize that you need love too
Gonna spend my life makin' love to you
Forgot to be a lover, baby
Have mercy (have mercy)
Well, did my work all day as hard as I can
I worked all night
Didn't make me a man
I got to be a lover, baby
Have mercy (have mercy)
Well, when I realize that you need love too
Gonna spend my life makin' love to you, baby
(I got to be a lover)
I got to be a lover, baby
Well, have mercy, my baby
Come on, mercy, mama
Have mercy
Gonna make it on through

If I didn't, now, darlin'
You see, I'm so sorry
Oh, but you know I really love you, baby (I really love you, baby)
