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 blind But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times 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 time But 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 I'll keep you satisfied
