Take me back

If you've been worried, don't ask me where I was.
I know that you've been waiting, but now I've come back home.
And, if you still want me, I will stay right here --

that is, if you can believe me.

For an eternity now I've been thinking,

day and night for weeks.
There's something that I've brought you,

something I hope you'll take.
Here is my heart -- I want to give it to you.
If it's true that you still want me, 

I'll put it straight into your hands.

I am so sorry that I could ever have thought
it was over and done with--that I no longer cared.
But it isn't so, and, baby, please don't forget
that I want you so much.

Yes, it's true I'm attracted to other men's houses;
it's true I've made promises I haven't kept.
Like a child, I can't pass up one single thrill
for fear of something that I might have missed.
But now I've come back home, and I want you so much.

I'm so sorry that I could ever have thought
it was over and done--that I no longer cared.
But it isn't so, and, baby, please don't forget
that I want you so much.

Come here, come take me back.
Come here, come take me back.
Come here.
Come take me back.
