  (arpeggiated classical guitar ):
 
  / / / / / / / / / / / /
  Only  you  and no-one  else
  Can keep me crawling  back
  You  know I  can't help  myself
  And now I'm crawling  back
 Bridge :
  After  all you've done  to me
  The times  you've turned me down
  I  still will be your clown because I love  you
  I'm craw-aw-ling  back
 Bridge :
  You  know  I would  die for you
   Heaven knows how I have cried  for you
  But what else can  I do
  But crawl on  back to  you-oo  oo-hoo
  Crawling  back  to you
 Bridge :
   People stop they talk  and they stare
  But they  don't know that you  really care
  That you're only lonely  and making  believe
  And you need  me, a love
  When the world turns  you down
  Whenever  you  might need  me
  I will come crawling  back
  Wherever  you  will lead  me
  I will come crawling  back
