[Intro]
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Interlude]
[Verse 1]
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could
[Chorus]
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Verse 2]
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
[Chorus]
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Chorus]
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Outro]
Maybe I didn't treat you
Maybe I didn't love you
Maybe I didn't hold you
I guess I never told you
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Interlude]
[Verse 1]
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could
[Chorus]
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Verse 2]
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
[Chorus]
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Chorus]
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
[Outro]
Maybe I didn't treat you
Maybe I didn't love you
Maybe I didn't hold you
I guess I never told you
