Title I take it back
Lyrictext

Here he comes now
I've got to tell him somehow
I could put it off 'till later
But it's best I do it now

Baby, listen to me, there is something I must try to say
I've put it off so long but I've decided that today is the day
My love for you is dying
Oh no, please, don't start crying

I take it back, I didn't mean it
Please forget the things I said
I take it back, I'm sorry
I must have been out of my head

He's such a man
It must have hurt him a lot if he let me see him cry
But I must try again
This time I'll say goodby

Baby, you've been good to me you've always been the best you could
So try to understand me now the way you've always understood
I can't go on another day
Oh, please, don't look at me that way

I take it back, I didn't mean it
Please forget the things I said
I take it back, I'm sorry
I must have been out of my head

Sometimes it's better to be loved, than it is to love
