Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Verse 2]
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
That I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
[Chorus]
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Bridge]
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
And give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied
[PreChorus]
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
[Chorus]
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
