Well, here you are again
Just like so many times before
Down on your knees you make a promise
Just as 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 as 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...
