[Intro]
Huh, baby
Little darling
I really love you
[Verse 1]
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't, darling, I'm sorry (Sorry)
Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Oh, when you needed me?
[Verse 2]
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 some mercy, have some mercy
[Verse 3]
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burdens that love will fare?
And have I done the little simple things to show you
How much I care?
I've been workin' for you, doin' all I can
To work all night didn't make mе a man
[Verse 4]
Oh, I forgot to be your lover (Have somе mercy)
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 forgive me, I'll make it up to you
I'm only a man, and I forgot to be
