Darlin' I, I can't explain
Where did we lose our way?
Girl, it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh, God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again, until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
So many nights, I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
I know that I don't need to be alone
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you, come back to me
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh, God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again, until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
(Baby, I'm sorry)
(Please, forgive me for all the wrong I've done)
(Please, come back home, girl)
(I know you put all your trust in me)
(I'm sorry I let you down)
(Please, forgive me, girl)
Gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers, the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It'll heal all things
We won't hurt anymore
No, I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees, begging you please
Come home
Can we go back to the days our love was strong?
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong?
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh, God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
Can we go back to the days our love was strong? (Wanna build a new life, just you and me)
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong? (Wanna make you my wife, raise a family)
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be?
Oh, God, give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again, until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
