If I promise you to straightin' up and put my life in order If I swear to you woman on bendin' knees I won't hurt you again If I become the kind of man that you want me to be Would you take another chance on me? The good lord knows I've done you wrong I've asked him to forgive me Deep inside I think he would if you could do the same If I could take back all the things that caused you misery Would you take another chance on me? Would you take another chance on me? I've paid for my mistake Would you take another chance on me? Or have I changed to late? Mmmm I've been a fool woman for hurting you But God can't you see I'm sorry? If you were only mine again I'd make it up to you But my past keeps blinding you If you could only see Would you take another chance on me? Think about it darlin
