I Forgot To Be Your Lover (Live At Wattstax / 1972) - William Bell

Lyrics by：William Bell/Booker T. Jones

Composed by：William Bell/Booker T. Jones

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

I'll spend my life making up to you

Oh I forgot to be your lover

And I'm sorry baby

Have I taken the time to share with you

All the burdens that love'll bare

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

And work all the time

Didn't make me a man

Oh I forgot to be your lover

And I'm sorry I'm so sorry baby

I forgot to be your lover

Baby yes I did

Said I'm sorry baby

Yes I am baby

Oh oh I want you to hold on

Hold on baby

Don't give up for me baby

No no no

Every every everything

Gonna be alright baby

Got to hold on

You belong to baby

I want you to

I want you to be hold on what you belong

To be

Hold on baby

Hold on longer

Said I'm sorry

Yes I am baby

I forgot to be your lover but hold on

Hold on

Every every everything

Gonna be alright

Hold on

Don't forget
