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 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 simplest things to show you
Just how much I care

Oh I've been working for you doing all I can
But working all day don't make me a man

Oh I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, but I'll make it up to you somehow

I forgot to be your lover
(I forgot to be your lover)
I forgot to be your lover
