Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know, sometimes
A man or a woman makes a mistake
Try to find a reason for makin' a mistake
But there's no reason to make a mistake
[Verse 2]
The only thing you can do
When you make a mistake is say I'm sorry
It takes a man or a woman to say I'm sorry
And it takes a fool to walk away
[Verse 3]
So, right here, I wanna say, I'm sorry
I don't know where you are
But you know I need you
Now, there's one more thing I'd like to say right here
I could say, maybe, you just don't understand
I could say, baby, I believe you got another man
And then I could say, I just can't help myself
But I wouldn't be a man
And then I could say, maybe you don't have nothin' left
But I want you to know
[Verse 4]
I still love you
Oh, no matter where you go
I still love you
Whoa, oh
Take it down, Jimmy
[Verse 5]
Goodbye my love
Throwin' me away
Goodbye my love
That's one more thing, you know
To have somebody to worry when you worry
Feel the need of a real person
When your friends drop you behind
To kill your anger
Just by bein' nice and kind
I could say, if you leave
It wouldn't bother me
But I know that would be a lie
'Cause, baby, deep down inside
You part of me
And I want you to know
And I don't care who knows
[Verse 6]
I still love you
Whoa, oh
I still love you
Whoa, oh
Take it down, Jimmy
[Verse 7]
Now, look at you
You always been in my corner
Never let me be a loner
There's one more thing I'd like to say right here
You told me
That no one would ever be able to take my place
That every time, the feelin' was nice
And you thought of my embrace
You said everything would be alright
You had no other love
No other, no other person in your sight
You said there would be another
There would never, never, never be another
And I believed you
I believed you
Yes, I believed you
'Cause I want you to know
[Verse 8]
I still love you
Whoa, oh
I still love you
I don't care who knows
No, whoa
Take it down, Jimmy
[Verse 9]
Goodbye my love
You're throwin' me away
Goodbye my love
You're throwin' me away
You're throw, you're throwin' me away
You walked away from me
Tell me why
You walked away from me
Just one more thing
Just one more thing I got to say right here
Just one more thing I got to say right here
[Verse 10]
I still love you
Whoa, oh, ah
I still love you
Whoa, oh, oh
Take it down, Jimmy
[Verse 11]
Goodbye my love
So long, baby
Goodbye my love
You're throwin' me away
You're throwin' me away
You're throwin' me away
Goodbye
