[Verse 1]
Girl I know I was a fool and I’ll do what it takes for you
To give me another chance, girl
‘Cause every time I think of you and all the things that we used to do
I wish I could be with you, oh
Now I realize what I wanna do
And the only thing I want, baby, is to be with you
Sugar, I’ll say I’m sorry ‘til my face turns blue
Whatever it takes to win you back, girl, you know I’ll do

[Chorus]
Girl, open up your heart, baby
Let’s make a brand new start, sugar
For, forgive me, girl
Please, I’m gonna be your man, baby
Can’t you understand, sugar
For, forgive me, girl

[Verse 2]
Girl, you gotta hear me out, I need your love without a doubt
I just can’t cope without you, oh
Girl, you got me on my knees, you got me crying, begging please, please
Will you take your loving back to me
Girl, I know a man ain’t supposed to cry
But every time I think of you
I’m wiping tears from my eyes
Baby, I’m man enough to say that I was wrong
What I feel for you, the feeling’s much too strong
[Chorus]
(Forgive me) Girl, open up your heart, baby
(Forgive me) Let’s make a brand new start, sugar (start)
For, forgive me, girl
(Forgive me) Please
(Forgive me) I’m gonna be your man, baby
Can’t you understand, sugar (sugar)
For, forgive me, girl

It’s fading away

Whatever you want
Whatever you need
I’ll do for you
Just give me another chance

Yeah, girl I really need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Girl I really need your loving
Got to have all your loving

[Chorus]
(Forgive me) Girl, open up your heart, baby
(Forgive me) Let’s make a brand new start, sugar (start)
For, forgive me, girl
(Forgive me) Please
(Forgive me) I’m gonna be your man, baby
Can’t you understand, sugar (sugar)
For, forgive me, girl (it’s fading away)
Girl, open up your heart, baby
Let’s make a brand new start, sugar
For, forgive me, girl
Please, I’m gonna be your man, baby (I love you, can’t do without you)
Can’t you understand, sugar (forgive me, forgive me)
For, forgive me, girl

Girl I know what I did was wrong
Only love you and you alone
Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me girl (it’s fading away)
It’s fading away
