To Be A Lover Lyrics - Whiplash Smile - Billy Idol

Have I told you 

Lately that I love you 

If I didn'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 

Forgot to be a lover 

Forgot to be a lover 

Make it on through to you somehow 

Got to be a lover, babe 

Forgot to be a lover 

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 

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 

Mercy 

Have mercy, baby 

I'm gonna make it on through 

To you somehow 

So have mercy 

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 

I really love you, baby 

I really need you, baby 

I really 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 baby 

Have mercy baby 

Have mercy baby 

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 

Forgot to be a lover 

Forgot to be a lover 

Have mercy 

Have mercy 

Have mercy baby 

Have mercy baby 

Forgot to be a lover 

Have mercy 

Have mercy 

Have mercy baby
