To Be a Lover (Mother of Mercy Mix)
[Intro]
Super-size!
Return to splendor
With rock and roll inferno
Super-size!
The type of thrills and spills
You, the fan, want to see and hear!
Return to splendor
With rock and roll inferno
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

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
