I Forgot to Be Your Lover Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Have I told you lately
That I love you lady?
Oh, if I didn't girl
Then I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
Did I reach out and hold ya
In my strong an loving arms
Oh, at the times that you needed me to?
[Hook]
Now I realize that you need love too
I spent our lives making love to you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, sorry
[Verse 2]
Have I take the time to share with you
All of the burdens of a young love affair?
And did I do all of the little things
Just to show you oh just how much I care?
[Hook]
See I've been working all week doing all I can
But all this work won't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, sorry
Have I told you lately
That I love you lady?
Oh, if I didn't girl
Then I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
Did I reach out and hold ya
In my strong an loving arms
Oh, at the times that you needed me to?
[Hook]
Now I realize that you need love too
I spent our lives making love to you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, sorry
[Verse 2]
Have I take the time to share with you
All of the burdens of a young love affair?
And did I do all of the little things
Just to show you oh just how much I care?
[Hook]
See I've been working all week doing all I can
But all this work won't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, sorry
[Hook]
Now I realize that you need love too
I've spent our lives making love you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I swear I'll make it up to you somehow, somehow
Oh, please forgive me baby
Oh, I said I'm sorry baby
Said I'm sorry
Oh, please forgive me baby
Now I realize that you need love too
I've spent our lives making love you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I swear I'll make it up to you somehow, somehow
Oh, please forgive me baby
Oh, I said I'm sorry baby
Said I'm sorry
Oh, please forgive me baby
