To Be a Lover (Have Mercy)

Huh, baby

Little darling

I really love you

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?

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

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 me a man

Oh, I forgot to be your lover (Have some 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
