Lyrics
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have (ooh)
Little things I should have said and done (ooh)
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind (ooh)
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine (ooh)
If I made you feel second best (ooh)
Girl, I’m so sorry, I was blind
You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done (ooh)
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
