I Forgot To Be Your Lover

I Forgot To Be Your Lover - William Bell

Written 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

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
