Take me back, baby, I'm beggin' you, down on my knees Why don't you take me back, baby, I'm beggin' you, down on my knees 'Low me one more chance, and cure me of my blue disease I know I been triflin', but I swear I didn't do nothin' wrong I know I been triflin', but I really didn't do nothin' wrong Why don't you take me back, baby, and don't make me wait so long I been runnin' wild, baby, where I sure did wrong I been runnin' wild, baby, and I swear I sure did wrong Because there's nothing outside that I really can't get at home It takes you, pretty mama, to keep me livin' straight It takes you, pretty mama, to keep me livin' straight Can I get you now, baby, how long will I have to wait? I used to love you, I didn't know my mind When I used to love you, I didn't know my mind When you'd think I was quittin' you, I was lovin' you all the time
