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 makin' up 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 burdens that lovers bear
And have I done the little simple things
To show you just how much I care?
Oh, I've been working for you
Doing all I can but working all the time
Ain't makin' me a man
Oh!
I forgot to be your lover, and I'm sorry I make it up to you somehow baby
I forgot to be your lover, I'm so sorry
I forgot to be your lover, gonna 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
If you forgive me, I'll make it up to you
I'm only a man and I forgot
Oh, I forgot
