[Verse 1]
And all the sky is turning blue
If I could only get past you
Then I would know what we've got here
Maybe see where we live
If I could only rearrange with you
Soldier the plans and try to change
Then I might feel like your hero
Coming home from war
Then I might understand
How I ended up a man

[Chorus 1]
Darling, please forgive me
I was sitting on a fence
I was slowly going out of my head
I did not hear a word that you said
I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed

[Verse 2]
If I could take your blows, If I could get past go
If I could find a way of fixing all the things that I broke
Then I would, if I could
And I might understand how I ended up a man
Yeah, I might understand how I ended up a man

[Bridge]
But the truth is hard to find
When it’s playing tricks with your mind

[Chorus 2]
Darling, please forgive me
I was hanging with my friends
I was slowly getting outta my head
I did not hear a word that you said
I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed
I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed
I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
