Lyrics

I can tell by your tone and how you keep our eyes from meeting something I have done or said has hurt you I hope and wonder, thought my anxious heart is beating, if a promise will keep you by my side

If there's one thing I don't understand it's why I always end up with my hat in my hand saying, " baby, I'm so sorry, please forgive me...and I promise it won't happen again".

If there's one thing that I can't explain it's why it's always me who's standing out in the rain pleading, "If you give me one more chance I know that I can promise it won't happen again".

I very often find myself trippingt on my tongue I've noticed I am often finished long before I'm done
This tendency to say just the wrong thing at the wrong time has made me start to wonder if the problem could be mine

So for now, dear, do I sink or swim?
You could have the chance to tell me what a fool I've been I'd apologize profusely, try my best to understand, and then promise it won't happen again.
