Lyrics

I’ve (Dm9)been think ing ’bout my thought (Dm7)less

(Dm9)words.

I (Dm9)know just how much they (Dm7)must have (Dm9)hurt.

And I take it back,

won’t you let me take it back.

I know I (Dm9)told you that I don’t (Dm7)love

(Dm9)you.

I’d (Dm9)be bet ter off with some (Dm7)one

(Dm9)new.

But I take it back,

won’t you let me take it back.

Girl, you know that (Dm7)I

still love you.

And you know that (Dm7)I’m

so wrong.

I don’t know why (Dm7)I

(Gm)told you that I did n’t need you, can’t you see that, ba by, I

was wrong.

What I woud n’t (Bb7)give to be your lov (Dm7)er a gain.

All I want to do is touch your skin,

yeah.

If I had you right here right now, I’d tell you, I’d tell you, I’d tell you, tell you, girl, you know that (Dm7)I

still love you.

And you know that (Dm7)I’m

so wrong.

I don’t know why (Dm7)I

(Gm)told you that I did n’t need you, can’t you see that, ba

by, I was wrong.
