Baby, I know about the trouble that you've had with me
And that you're furious and upset and mad at me
And I know I must have hurt you in every single way
And you know I saw you cryin' on every single day
But I was livin' in the fast lane and left you behind,
I didn't treat you right and I didn't treat you kind.
I wish that we could just forget all the bad times,
'Cause I need you right here, right at my side
'Cause every day you helped me up when I was down
And every day you picked me up when I was on the ground,
Every day I wish we could turn back the hands of time
And then you'd still be mine.
Now I'm knockin' on your door
I want you rollin' on the floor
This time it's different than before
You've had enough but I want more
Now I'm ringing on your bell (on my bell)
I'm so lonely, you can tell (I can tell)
Now you're gone and you are well (I am well)
Can't you see, I feel like hell
I just wanna hold you the way I held you way back when,
Before the shouting, the screaming and the trouble began,
And I'm sure I wouldn't make the same mistakes that I've done
Because the saying's true, you don't know what you got til it's gone
I should have noticed before that something wasn't going right,
I should have been there when you waited for me all night,
I should have helped you when you needed me and pleaded with me,
I should have treated you the same way that you treated me.
'Cause every day you helped me up when I was down
And every day you picked me up when I was on the ground,
Every day I wish we could turn back the hands of time
And then you'd still be mine.
