Lyrics
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second-best
Girl, I’m sorry I was blindYou were always on my mind
You were always on my mindAnd 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
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the timeAnd you were always on my mind
You were always on my mindTell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
And give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
Keep you satisfied
