Lyrics:
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't, darlin', 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, I'm so sorry
Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
And have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?
Oh, I've been workin' for you doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man
Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
#TheBlackKeys #OhioPlayers #IForgotToBeYourLover

I haven't heard Dan's voice with so much soul since Brothers (Delta Kream to a certain extent). I'm here for it 🙌

[@velvetjones8634]

Seems like he pushes his voice a little further on this one.

[@alinalinalinalina]

Agreed! And the tone of the whole song (ok, all of their songs) is always so warm and lush. Never screechy or high pitched. It could be the fuzz pedal, the vintage guitar or just his voice. The combination is perfection ❤

[@kmlevel]

Spot on man. Grew up in Akron in Pat's neighborhood and have been yearning for them to get back to the sound that made them famous!

[@streetteamtony2672]

Don't forget Kelly Finnegan on back up vocals

[@haveyoueverseenaportal]

extent.

[@thejoshandcharles1]

20 to 6 on a Friday morning. Terrible English weather, about to go to work. And this gem comes out. It's going to be a great day!

[@hopebgood]

It's funny how some wonderful, unexpected thing can change your day just like that, isn't it? 😀

[@Sukyboy2103]

Can you imagine to work Saturday and Sunday as well

[@adityachauhan2073]

That friends, is how you cover a classic. 👏👏

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

YES !!!!!

[@francescopaolociampone]

To whoever is listening to this song now, wherever you are.... Sending you love, peace, healing and all good wishes. May your life be good❤

[@jimikings]

Thanx, i'm from brazil! ❤

[@robynmacneil3554]

You too 🥰

[@InformationSniper-xb2sn]

Worst comes to worst my people come first

[@deanbenitez]

Amazing cover of William Bell’s classic! Got all the right moods and feels to hit just as deep. Kudos!

[@Arghyrou123]

Thanks i was wondering the name of the original.

[@ShiroKuro13]

Si un artista va a copiar exactamente igual la canción de otro artista qué menos que nombrarle en los créditos o algo, por respeto

[@robertriteman3227]

Better than Springsteen cover but still miles away from the original .

[@undun8065]

Amazing song. Coming from a recent break up.. it's a tough one to listen to. Never the less. This is timeless!!

[@jjay1035]

Idk what happened.. but take the necessary time to heal.. hope you can learn and grow from it.. And know something good is just around the corner 😉

[@Swollen_Goat]

Stay strong.

[@undun8065]

@jjay1035 people such as yourself ,I appreciate alot! Thx for your message, taking time out to give some love. Good music brings out the best in people!

[@MrBiPauler]

Stop calling me! We’re not getting back together!! But you always had such great taste in music. I love this song too baby!!

[@undun8065]

@MrBiPauler more like Bi Peter, sorry I'm into woman not lady boys. So your phone call is from your mate not me. Even if you a lady boy MrBipeter I wish u luck and at least you listen to good music. 👍🏻

[@CJFreeza]

This song absolutely embodies everything amazing about the Black Keys. Soulfully beautiful

[@CommodoreHorton]

There's a certain joy in hearing a song within two minutes of it dropping. This is it. I was here for it.

[@stlcat314]

Like buying a cd on the first day it was released

[@phil.d-roll6393]

Yup

[@mirontu7378]

Im here too

[@JeffreyCiesla]

Cheers!

[@xXHumanShieldXx]

Especially a song that's been out for decades already and already had a cover.

[@steveirwin7329]

Brothers vibes! 🔥

[@theoriginaldosser9189]

Dan Auerbach is an insomniac. He never stops. Black Keys. Blakroc. The Arcs. Easy Eye Sound. Soloing. He is The Man.

[@theoriginaldosser9189]

Hard to criticise Dan when he puts a lot of time knowledge and passion into everything he does. He's got the groove. And we should all be grateful. Auerbach can do no wrong.

[@justuscilliers]

What a beautiful song. Thanks Black Keys for making 2024 feel good. ❤

[@iambecomedeafdestroyerofwords]

I don’t know how it’s possible the Black Keys can cover these older songs so well ….. it’s truly a testament to how great these guys are , absolute legends….. rock on brothers 🤙

[@theoriginaldosser9189]

The Black Keys always deliver. Everything Auerbach touches is Gold. Never get bored with them. New songs get more interesting the more you play them. Which is the mark of great songs. Currently there is no touching them. They are the Best.

[@Table_Top_Joe]

❤

[@juliewilson9002]

Totally agree!

[@Bobbicaponata]

Strongly agree with you bruv. They’ve been my favorite band for four years and they never disappoint! I always go back and liste to old gems from this guys to find something I didn’t watch with the right light. The black keys for life!

[@howtomakeyourlifeeasier]

I completely understand - but I've seen them live last summer and it was dreadful :((( I'm a huge fan for more than 10 years so it was quite dissapointing

[@theoriginaldosser9189]

Where? I seen them in Manchester and they was mint.

[@aksalig]

Man, it's wonderful. Songs like these make you remember the small things you've been missing. Life's happening at a fast pace around me lately and I can't do anything except try to catch it up and hence feeling lost. Thank you Black Keys for making me remember that I still have wonderful friends and family whom I'm not able to give time.♥

[@juliojuarez8880]

How many times, have you listen to this song? Yes.

[@rida13rock]

countless

[@allinyofeelings1884]

When words aren’t enough little gems like this one can help you express how you might truly feel…

[@davidgarrigan7304]

They never disappoint. 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@RichardRitenour0522]

With every new album it's better than the last with it's own feel. This band is brilliant.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

Strong 60's vibe to this one, another classic by the Black Keys!!! ✌🏻😊

[@Fuggernaut]

It’s a cover of a 60’s song

[@jonathanturbide2232]

@@Fuggernaut Thanks for sharing!!! ✌🏻👍🏻

[@workshopninjathe1st]

Sampled by Dialated People’s Worst Comes to Worst too

[@vayaasaberuno]

Ohhh please more from the beginning!!❤😊

[@Arghyrou123]

Ludacris done a cover of it to. Growing pains.

[@thomasharris7881]

Glad you kept the strings man, I get chills when they begin that rising thing in the bridge, wow every time without fail, goosebumps.

[@dilshodramazonov76]

There's a certain joy in hearing a song within two minutes of it dropping. This is it. I was here for it.

[@andyt5354]

What a classic remake of an excellent song! The Black keys never disappoint!

[@TheNeworleanswoman]

My current song Obsession. 💖♥️💖

[@matguerra333]

Great cover of A William Bell masterpiece.

[@robertriteman3227]

I do like BK and have several albums. Not great but solid which is far better than Springsteen cover.

[@5964ibra]

3 am here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and listening to it all on my own. I know it’s going to be a good day!

[@marksutherlandmusic9137]

Perfect. If the group of musicians on this track don’t get together to write an entire album I think it would be a damn shame.

[@jimdickson9816]

This feels so good. Dan's voice is on a whole other level here....❤❤

[@Knottybohemian21]

Absolutely one of the coolest bands ever! They are so incredible!

[@Zoalsoul]

I've been listening to you guys since 2010 till now. Please, my brothers of soul, don't you dare change.

[@isaacburdiss]

Wow! That's a great surprise for this late homework night. Excellent tones, and I love the organ and strings. Whatever direction The Keys go, they never go wrong!

[@chiaraaa614]

The Black Keys will never disappoint me. I've been listening to them since I was a little girl and every time it's a unique and unrepeatable emotion. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹❤

[@J.SargeScratches]

Got me some goosebumps with this one!! This is gonna blow up 💯

[@niveditab7277]

Why does this song end?

Ohio Players is going to be their next Brothers.

Great change of pace from some of the other music. But I love this song just as much. I really like how short it is doesn’t over stay it’s welcome can’t wait for the full album!

[@TheNomadJack]

This feels like a BROTHERS track ❤❤❤❤❤

[@blmoorebm]

The only thing I'm sad about is that it's 2:30 long. This song just feels good and the vocals that convey the emotion of the lyrics (chef's kiss).

[@DerikFein]

Timeless piece of art.

[@GABOSO765]

El mejor duo de rock de la historia

[@Gerbomania]

this is gold

[@mark_tolver]

I thought this sounded like a Wilson Picket song at first but no it’s a William Bell cover. Nice. Looks like I’ll be going down a William Bell rabbit hole for the rest of the day! 😋

[@dmac-333]

Wow. Love it boys. Bring on the album.

[@SammyRocket]

Love William Bell... great cover. Great song.

[@matlam3894]

Моя Русская душа в точности отождествляется с эмоциями автора этой прекрасной композиции! Можно было бы добавить массу красочных эпитетов, однако Русский язык скромен и лаконичен. Спасибо вам, друзья из-за океана. Мы вас тут знаем и любим!
