Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you (Mmm)
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best (You did, you did)
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind
[Chorus]
(You were always on my mind) You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Verse 2]
And 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
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
[Chorus]
(You were always on my mind) But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Bridge]
Tell me (Tell me)
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me (Give me)
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied
[Outro]
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)
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
