To Be A Lover Lyrics

Have i told you
Lately that i love you
If i din’t, darlin’,
You see, i’m so sorry
Didn’t i reach out
And hold you
In these lovin’ arms
Well, if i didn’t, oh baby.
Well, i’m so sorry

When i realized that you need love too,
Gonna spend my life makin’ love to you.
Got to be a lover.
Have mercy.
Forgot to be a lover, babe. (have mercy)
Forgot to be a lover. (have mercy)
Forgot to be a lover.
Make it on through to you somehow. (have mercy, baby)
Got to be a lover, babe. (forgot to be a lover)
Woo! woo!

Well, did i ask you,
Yes, would you come and share,
Oh, share,
Oh, the burden and the task
That’s at love’s command
Didn’t i say
All those lovin’ special things
That you long to hear
To show how much i care

Well, when i realize
That you need love too,
Gonna spend my life
Makin’ love to you
Forgot to be a lover,
Have mercy

Well, well i worked all day
Hard as i can
Worked all night, didn’t make me a man.
(forgot to be a lover)
Have mercy, oo,

When i realized
That you need love too,
Gonna spend my life
Makin’ love to you. (forgot to be a lover)
Got to be a lover, babe.
Oo, mercy. (have mercy)
Have mercy, baby. (have mercy, baby)

I’m gonna make it on through
To you somehow,
So have mercy. (have mercy, have mercy, baby)

Have i told you,
Yes, lately that i love you
If i didn’t, oh baby,
Yes, i’m so sorry.
Ah, but you know i really love you, baby.(love you baby)
I really love you baby (love you baby)
I really need you baby (need you baby)
I really want you baby (want you baby)

When i realized,
That you need love too,
I’m gonna spend my life
Makin’ love,
Makin’ love,
Makin’ love to you
Well, i worked all day
As hard as i can,
Worked all night,
It didn’t make me a man, babe.
(forgot to be a lover) (have mercy)
Oo, have mercy baby (have mercy)
Have mercy baby (have mercy)
Oo, have mercy baby (have mercy baby)
Oo, make it through.

Well, when i realized that you need love too,
I’m gonna spend my life,
Gotta spend my life makin’ love to you.
