Lyrics
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you (ooh)
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
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
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
And you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
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
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
