i forgot to be your lover

Bruce Springsteen

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
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
Been workin' all day, don't make me 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)
I forgot to be your lover
