 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

T e ll me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t die - ied
G i ve me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfie - ied, 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

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
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn’t love you
All those lonely, lonely times
