Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

[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
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

[Chorus]
Oh, I forgot to be a lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Have some mercy; have some mercy

[Verse 2]
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burdens that love come with?
And have I told you little simple things to show you
How much I care?
I've been workin' for you, doin' all I can
Work all night didn't make me a man

[Chorus]
Oh, I forgot to be a lover
Have some mercy
Why won't you have some mercy
Since you left me an' gone
You know I just can't go on
Since you walked out on me, since you walked out on me
Every thing I do, seem to go wrong
Little darling, have some mercy
I feel like crying
You know I feel like dying
Since you left me an' gone
You know I just can't go on

[Verse 3]
Have I taken the times to share with you
All the burdens that love come with?
And have I told you little simple things to show you
How much I care?
I've been workin' for you, doin' all I can
Work all night didn't make me a man

[Chorus]
Oh, I forgot to be a lover
An' I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Have some mercy; have some mercy, baby
Have some mercy
Have some mercy, baby
Have some mercy

[Verse 4]
Have I taken the times to share with you
All the burdens that love come with?
And have I told you little simple things to show you
How much I care?
I've been workin' for you, doin' all I can
Work all night didn't make me a man

[Outro]
Oh, I forgot to be a lover
An' I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Forgot to be a lover
Gonna make it up with you somehow
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
