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) 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) You were always on my mind
