I Take It Back

(album: Today My Way - 1967)

Here he comes now
I've got to tell him someday
I could put it off 'til later, but
Well, it's best I do it now

Baby, listen to me
There is something I must try to say
I've put it off so long
But I've decided that today is the day

My love for you is dying
Oh, no, please don't start crying
I take it back, I didn't mean it
Please forget the things I said
I take it back, I'm sorry
I must have been out of my head

He's such a man
It must have hurt him a lot
If he let me see him cry
But I must try again
This time I'll say goodbye

Baby, you've been good to me
You've always been the best you could
So try and understand me now
The way you've always understood

I can't go on another day
Oh please, don't look at me that way
I take it back, I didn't mean it
Please forget the things I said
I take it back, I'm sorry
I must have been out of my head

Sometimes it's better to be loved
Than it is to love
