Some-times a man does things without half thinkin'
And what I saw I did not under-stand
I called you names and said some things that hurt you
And in the heat I started walkin' out that door

But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my
Tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong --- I was
Wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with

I know it's not your fault that you're so pretty
And that you turn the head of every man --- I understand
But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin' I don't love you any more

But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I be-long --- I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with

But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin' I don't love you any more

But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I be-long --- I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with

Yes you're the only one I'll always be in love with
