[Verse 1]
Declaration of my feelings for you
Elaboration on those feelings
Description of how long
These feelings have existed
Belief that no one else
Could feel the same as I
Reminiscence of the pleasant times we shared
And our relationship's perfection
Recounting of the steps
That led to our love's dissolution
Mostly involving my unfaithfulness and lies

[Refrain]
Penitent admission of wrongdoing
Discovery of the depth of my affection
Regret over the lateness of my epiphany

[Hook]
Title of the song
Naive expression of love
Reluctance to accept that you are gone
Request to turn back time and rectify my wrongs
Repetition of the title of the song

[Verse 2]
Enumeration of my
Various transgressive actions
Of insufficient motivation
Realization that these actions
Led to your departure
And my resultant lack of sleep and appetite
Renunciation of my past insensitive behavior
Promise of my reformation, (uh-huh)
Reassurance that you still are foremost in my thoughts now
Need for instructions
How to gain your trust again
[Refrain]
Request for reconciliation
Listing of the numerous tasks that I'd perform
Of physical and emotional compensation

[Chorus]
Title of the song
Naive expression of love
Reluctance to accept that you are gone
Request to turn back time and rectify my wrongs
Repetition of the title of the song

[Bridge]
Acknowledgment that I acted foolishly
Increasingly desperate pleas for your return
Sorrow for my infidelity
Vain hope that my sins are forgivable
Appeal for one more opportunity
Drop to my knees to elicit crowd response
Prayers to my chosen deity
Modulation and I hold a high note

[Refrain]
Title of the song
Naive expression of love
Reluctance to accept that you are gone
Request to turn back time and rectify my wrongs
Repetition of the title of the song
