I didn't mean to be so late It's just that I got talking Had a drink and smoke a couple of j's Missed the bus and wound up walking Thought I'd call to let you know It was busy and I couldn't get through I didn't mean to let you down I know how much it hurts you And I would do for you all you let me do And all you have to do is ask me to And all you have to say is steal me away And I'll come running back again And I'll come running back again I don't know what came over me Must have slipped my mind I try to make it up to you You sleep the past behind I promise that I'll do my best Change my wicked ways Don't believe the things you hear Or listen to things they say 'Cause I would do for you all you let me do And all you have to do is ask me to All you have to say is steal me away And I'll come running back again And I'll come running back again If something's wrong then let me know You swallow things inside Your pretty eyes can memo Your sadness you can't hide Try to give me one more chance To set the record straight Meet me here tomorrow night I promise that I won't be late 'Cause I would do for you all you let me do And all you have to do is ask me to And all you have to say is steal me away And I'll come running back again And I would do for you all you let me do And all you have to do is ask me to And all you have to say is steal me away And I'll come running back again
