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
