Try Me One More Time
Osborne Brothers · Osborne Brothers 2 (1968-1974) [Bear Family] [1995]
Take me back and 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 and try me one more time.
If my darling you could see
Just what your leaving's done to me
You've known that love is still a tie that binds
Take me back and try me one more time.
--- Instrumental ---
In my dreams I see your face
It seems there's someone in my place
But does he know you were once just mine
Take me back and try me one more time.
If you don't come back my dear
Remember that I'm always here
With just a mem'ry of your love so fine
Take me back and try me one more time...
