Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
[Chorus]
You were always on my mind (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
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
[PreChorus]
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind
[Chorus]
You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
[Bridge]
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied, satisfied
[PreChorus]
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
[Chorus]
You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Outro]
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 treat you
Quite as good as I should have
