To Be a Lover

Ooh baby (have some mercy)
Little darling, I really love you

Have I told you lately that I love you?
If I didn't darling, I'm sorry (sorry)
Didn't I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Oh, when you needed me?
Now I realize that you need love too
Gonna 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 a task to share with you
All the burdens that love commands?
And have I told you little simple things
To show you how much I care?
I've been working for you, doing all I can
Work all night, didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
Have some mercy (have some mercy)
Now won't you have some mercy (have some mercy)

Since you left me and gone
You know I just can't go on
Since you walked out on me
Since you walked out on me
Everything I do seem to go wrong
Little darling, have some mercy
I feel like crying
You know I feel like dying

Since you left me and gone
You know I just can't go on
Have I taken a task to share with you
All the burdens that love commands?
And have I told you little simple things
To show you how much I care?
I've been working for you, doing all I can
Work all night, didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Have some mercy (have some mercy)
Have some mercy, baby (have some mercy)
Have some mercy
Have some mercy, baby
Have some mercy

Have I taken a task to share with you
All the burdens that love commands?
And have I told you little simple things
To show you how much I care?
I've been working for you, doing all I can
Work all night, didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Forgot to be your lover
Gonna make it up with you somehow
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Have some mercy, have some mercy, darling
Have some mercy, have some mercy
Well, have some mercy, have some mercy, baby

Have some mercy
Now won't you have some mercy?
Since you left me and gone
You know I just can't go on
Since you walked out on me
Since you walked out on me
Everything I do seem to go wrong
Little darling, have some mercy
Yeah, have some mercy
