I Forgot To Be Your Lover Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 up to you
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

[Verse 2]
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burdens that lovers bear?
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
And 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

[Outro]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
