On Bended Knee Lyrics

Darling, I, I can't explain Where did we lose our way Girl, it's drivin' me insane And I know I just need one more chance To prove my love to you If you come back to me I'll guarantee That I'll never let you go Can we go back to the days our love was strong? Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong? Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way they used to be? Oh, God, give me the reason I'm down on bended knee I'll never walk again until you come back to me I'm down on bended knee So many nights I dream of you Holding my pillow tight I know that I don't need to be alone When I open up my eyes to face reality Every moment without you It seems like eternity I'm begging you, begging you come back to me Can we go back to the days our love was strong? Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong? Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way they used to be? Oh, God, give me the reason I'm down on bended knee I'll never walk again until you come back to me I'm down on bended knee Baby, I'm sorry Please forgive me for all the wrong I've done Please come back home, girl I know you put all your trust in me I'm sorry I let you down Please forgive me I'm gonna swallow my pride Say I'm sorry Stop pointing fingers The blame is on me I want a new life And I want it with you If you feel the same Don't ever let it go You gotta believe in the spirit of love It'll heal all things It won't hurt any more No, I don't believe our love's terminal I'm down on my knees Begging you please Come home Can we go back to the days our love was strong? Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong? Can somebody tell me how to get things back the way they used to be? Oh, God, give me the reason I'm down on bended—down on bended knee Wanna build a new life Just you and me Gonna make you my wife Raise a family I'll never walk again 'til you come back to me I'm down on bended knees.
