Billy Idol
To Be a Lover (Live from VH1 Storytellers)
[Intro]
Whoo!
Yeah! All right!
[Verse 1]
Have I told you
Yes, lately that I love you?
If I didn't, now darlin'
You see, I'm so sorry
Didn't I reach out
And hold you
In these lovin' arms?
If I didn't, now baby
You see, I'm so sorry
[Chorus: Billy Idol & Stella Soleil]
Welllll
Now I realize that you need love too
Gonna spend my life makin' love to you
And I got to be a lover
Have mercy (Have mercy)
I forgot to be a lover, baby (Have mercy)
Forgot to be a lover (Have mercy, baby)
I’m going to make it on through to you somehow
I forgot to be a lover, baby
Woo! Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Said, did I ask you
Oh, would you come and share
Share, oh, the burden and the task
That's at love's command?
Didn't I say
All those lovin' special things?
Oh, yes, I did
To show how much I care
[Chorus: Billy Idol & Stella Soleil]
Wellllll, when I realize
That you need love too
I'm gonna spend my life
Makin' love to you
Forgot to be a lover, baby
Have mercy (Have mercy)
Well, did my work all day
As hard as I can
I worked all night, didn't make me a man
I got to be a lover, baby
Have mercy, wellll
When I realize
That you need love too
Gonna spend my life
Makin' love to you, baby
I got to be a lover, babe
Well, have mercy, my baby
Come, have mercy, mama
Have mercy
I'm gonna make it on through
Yeah
Have I told you
Lately that I love you?
If I didn't, now, darlin'
You see, I'm so sorry
But you know I really love you, bab y (I really love you, baby)
I love you, baby (I really love you, baby)
I want you (I really need you, baby)
I really want you (I really want you, baby)
Oh yeah
When I realize
That you need love too
Well, I'm gonna spend my life
Makin' love, makin' love to you
Did my work all day
As hard as I can
I worked all night
It didn't make me a man, my baby (Forgot to be a lover)
Well, I got to be a lover (Got to be lover)
Well, have mercy, my baby (Got to be a lover)
Have mercy, mama (Got to be a lover)
