Don't need to be rich
Don't have to be smart
'Coz without even trying
She can remind you
How lucky you are
She's a beautiful thing
And what makes it a crime
Is I took someone I love
Too long for granted
No wonder she left me behind
Baby, if I could only have her love back
I swear I'd change
If she would give me one more chance
And to lift her up where she belongs
She loved me right and I loved her wrong
So I'm crying out for mercy
What do I have to do to have her forgive me?
I just wasted my time
Wondering if I could only have her love back
She gave all of herself
Always thinking of us
Honesty was all she
Ever wanted from me
And I never gave her enough
Now it's easy to see
But so hard to survive
Oh, the one big mistake
Is gonna mess up my heart
For the rest of my life
Baby, if I could only have her love back
I swear I'd change
If she would give me one more chance
And to lift her up where she belongs
She loved me right and I loved her wrong
So I'm crying out for mercy
What do I have to do to have her forgive me?
Am I just wasting my time
Wondering if I could only have her love back?
I maybe dreaming
Lying, deceiving myself
But I still have to try
Every ounce of my being
Struggles for meaning
Without her here in my life
Baby, now I'm crying out for mercy
What do I have to do to have her forgive me?
Am I just wasting my time
Wondering if I could only have her love back?
I need her love back
I want her love back
I want you back, baby
