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 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 simple things to show you   Just how much I care?      Oh, I've been workin' for you doin' all I can   To 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
