Song Lyrics

I try to reason and tell myself you'll return
But you are gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone
You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you I didn't intend it

You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind
You're not gonna stay
But I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby
I lost you, baby, you were gone

Forgive and forget it that's not what I'll ask you to do
'Cause I want you back, yeah
You know, you know I want you back
And in concluding my mental discussion
I found I lost my prized possession

You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind
You're not gonna stay
And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby
I lost you, baby, you were gone

You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you I didn't intend it

You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind
You're not gonna stay
And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby
I lost you, baby and you were gone

Lie, lies I told you baby
I never meant to say

But a desperate mind
Does a desperate thing baby
I can't loose you
I do whatever I got to do

I never loved like this before
I don't mean to be so silly
Such a little girl sometimes
I really want to be your woman
I just...

It gets so heavy baby...
It gets so heavy
And I just want you...
I just want you to think about
Don't let me go
