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 arm
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, so sorry

Have I taken the

Time to share with you
All the burdens, a love affair


And have I done the
Little simple things to show you
Just how much I care


Oh, I been working for you
Doing all I can but

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


If you'll forgive me
I'll make it up to you
I'm only a man and I forgot...
