Paroles

 

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

 

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

 

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

 

If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm so sorry, I was blind
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
I just never took the time
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
