[English]

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 love to you

Oh, I forgot to be your lover

And I'm sorry, so sorry

...

Have I taken the time to share with you

All the burdens that love will fare?

And have I done the little selfless things to show you

Just how much I care?

Oh, I've been workin' for you, doin' all I can

But working all day don't make you a man

Oh, I forgot to be your lover

And I'm sorry, but I'll make it up to you somehow

I forgot to be your lover (I forgot to be your lover, lover)

...

I forgot to be your lover

...
