| I didn’t mean to be so late
 | 
| It’s just that I got talking
 | 
| Had a drink and smoke a couple of j’s
 | 
| Missed the bus and wound up walking
 | 
| Thought I’d call to let you know
 | 
| It was busy and I couldn’t get through
 | 
| I didn’t mean to let you down
 | 
| I know how much it hurts you
 | 
| And I would do for you all you let me do
 | 
| And all you have to do is ask me to
 | 
| And all you have to say is steal me away
 | 
| And I’ll come running back again
 | 
| And I’ll come running back again
 | 
| I don’t know what came over me
 | 
| Must have slipped my mind
 | 
| I try to make it up to you
 | 
| You sleep the past behind
 | 
| I promise that I’ll do my best
 | 
| Change my wicked ways
 | 
| Don’t believe the things you hear
 | 
| Or listen to things they say
 | 
| 'Cause I would do for you all you let me do
 | 
| And all you have to do is ask me to
 | 
| All you have to say is steal me away
 | 
| And I’ll come running back again
 | 
| And I’ll come running back again
 | 
| If something’s wrong then let me know
 | 
| You swallow things inside
 | 
| Your pretty eyes can memo
 | 
| Your sadness you can’t hide
 | 
| Try to give me one more chance
 | 
| To set the record straight
 | 
| Meet me here tomorrow night
 | 
| I promise that I won’t be late
 | 
| 'Cause I would do for you all you let me do
 | 
| And all you have to do is ask me to
 | 
| And all you have to say is steal me away
 | 
| And I’ll come running back again
 | 
| And I would do for you all you let me do
 | 
| And all you have to do is ask me to
 | 
| And all you have to say is steal me away
 | 
| And I’ll come running back again |
