Well, here you are again just like
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me

You're tellin' me you're sorry
For the things you say you didn't mean to do
But old friend you'd better make it
Because I'm gettin' tired of losing you

I've lost you to the booze and bars
And uptown girls a dozen times before
For years I've tried to fake it
But I ain't a gonna take it anymore

Though I hoped that you'll rehearse your line
You're gonna say and pray it will come true
'Cause there won't be no next time
Buddy I'm gettin' tired of losing you

But darling please please don't leave me
I know I did you wrong before
Just like you said I would
Oh darling please please believe me
If you'll take me back just one more time
I promise I'll be good
Well, here you are again just like
So many times before down on your knees
You make a promise just like you've made
And never kept before to me
