 1.  Darlin I, I can't  explain, where did we lose our way,
  girl, it’s drivin’  me insane
  And I know I just  need one more chance
  to prove  my love to you, if you come back to me,
  I guarantee that I'll never let you  go.
 Can we go back  to the days our love was  strong ?
 Can you tell me  how a perfect love goes  wrong?
 Can somebody tell me how to  get things back the  way they used to be ?
   (  )
 Oh God, give me a reason I'm down on bended knee.
 
 2.  So many nights I dream of you,  holding my pillow tight,
  I know that I don't need to be alone.
  When I open up  my eyes to face reality,
  every moment  without you seems like eternity,
  I'm begging  you, begging you : come back to me !
 + CHORUS +  -  -  -  -  -  (2x) -
 3. (spoken : ) Baby,  I’m sorry,
 please forgive me for all the wrong I’ve done
  Please come back home girl, I know  you put all your trust in me,
  I’m sorry,  I let you down, please, forgive  me !
  (sung : ) Gonna swallow my pride,  say I'm sorry,
  stop  pointing fingers, the blame is on me.
  I want  a new life, and I want it with  you,
  if you feel the  same, don't ever let  it go.
  You gotta believe in the spirit of love,
  it can heal all  things, we won't hurt anymore.
  No I don't  believe our love's terminal,
  I'm down  on my knees,
 Can we go back  to the days our love was  strong ?
 Can you tell me  how a perfect love goes  wrong?
 Can somebody tell me how to  get things back the  way they used to be ?
   (  )
 Oh God, give me a reason I'm down on bended knee.
