Well, I don't know how it happened Must have been something I said We had some words, she said some things I guess I must have lost my head It's been a week since I left her And I can't go on this way I'll call her up and swallow my pride When she says hello, I'll say I want you back again Oh, what a fool I've been I won't do that again My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend I want you back again So I gather up all my courage And I find my last dime I need her so, but God only knows If we can make up this time I tremble as I dial the number Oh, I hope I'm not too late I say it's me and I hold my breath Softly I hear her say I want you back again Oh, what a fool I've been I won't do that again My tears won't stop and my heart won't mend I want you back again So, I gather up all my courage And I find my last dime I need her so, but God only knows If we can make up this time I tremble as I dial the number Oh, I hope I'm not too late I say it's me and I hold my breath So, I gather up all my courage
