Try Me One More Time
Porter Wagoner · Confessions of a Broken Man (RCA Victor) [1966]
Take me back try me one more time.
Yes I know I've been untrue
And I've hurt you through and through
But please have a mercy on this heart of mine
Take me back try me one more time.
If my darling you could see
Just what your leavin's done to me
You'd know that love is still the tie that binds
Take me back try me one more time.
In my dreams I see your face
It seems there's someone in my place
But does he knows that you were once just mine
Take me back try me one more time.
If you'll just forgive me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
I'll promise never again to be unkind
Take me back try me one more time...
