Now I smoke a lot of cigarettes,

And I've been drinking too much wine

You've been patient and understanding,

I guess I went to far this time

I cut you with my drunken words,

So much sharper than a knife,

But, you turned the tables on me, baby,

Just by walking out of my life



Too late to say I'm sorry,

It won't happen anymore

But, you don't believe a word I say

'Cause you've heard it all before

But, all the same,

Won't you take me back again



Don't say it's over,

After all that we've been through

Take some time to think about it, baby,

While I sing my song to you

Your suitcase by the back door,

Packed with broken dreams,

When night time comes to call on me,

I'll know what loneliness means

But, all the same,

Won't you take me back again



Take me back again, take me back again

All I'm asking is forgiveness,

Won't you take me back again

Take me back again, take me back again

All I'm asking is forgiveness,

Won't you take me back again



But, baby, all the same

Won't you take me back again

Take me back again, take me back again



But, baby, all the same

Won't you take me back again

Take me back again, take me back again

Won't you take me back again

No, no, no, no, take me back again



Don't walk away from me baby

I beggin' you please, uh

I beggin' you please, uh

Take me back again

Take me back again
