Try Me One More Time
Arlo Guthrie · Arlo [1997]
words and music by Ernest Tubb
Yes, I know I've been untrue
And I have hurt you through and through
But please have mercy on this heart of mine
Won't you take me back and try me one more time
In my dreams I see your face
It seems like there's someone in my place
But does he know that you were once mine
Won't you take me back and try me one more time
If you come back to me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
I promise to never be unkind I
If you'll take me back and try me one more time
Won't you take me back and try me one more time
Yes, I know I've been untrue
And I have hurt you through and through
But please have mercy on this heart of mine
Won't you take me back and try me one more time
In my dreams I see your face
It seems like there's someone in my place
But does he know that you were once mine
Won't you take me back and try me one more time
If you come back to me now
I'll make it up to you somehow
I promise to never be unkind I
If you'll take me back and try me one more time
Won't you take me back and try me one more time
