I gave you all I had I gave you good and bad I gave but you just threw it back I won't get on my knees Don't make me do that please I've been away but now I'm back Don't be too sure of that What makes you sure of that You went away you can't come back I walked away from you I hurt you through and through Aw honey give me one more chance Aw you're a lucky son Lucky son of a gun You went away, you went away You went away but now you're back I got down on my knees And then I begged you please I always knew you'd take me back
