We had a fight
A lover’s quarrel
Angry words spoken in haste
Deep in the night
It burned out of control
And with tears streaming down our face
I slammed the door and I walked out
Swearing that we were through
Now I’m sittin in a bar
Thinkin I’ve gone too far
And wonderin’ what I’m gonna do
Thinkin bout callin you

To my left blue collar
To my right a high dollar man
Across the bar
A smooth bartender
Who thinks I’m in the palm of his hand
Well they buy me drinks
And light my cigarette
They’re all wonderin which one I’m gonna choose
My hand’s on the glass
My second margarita
And my mind is on you

Well I ran away
In a moment of weakness
I couldn’t hold my own
I should have stayed
Because bein together
Means more than who was right or wrong
And sittin in a room
Full of lonely faces
Yours the only one I see
If you only knew I was thinkin of you
Would ya come and rescue me
Maybe I should call and see

To my left…

I should have known
I could never get along
Outside your love
It’s last call
And I’m out of cigarettes
They’re all wondering what I’m gonna do
My hand’s on the glass
It’s my last marguerita
And my mind is on you

Now and then I open up a trunk
Full of old souveniers
Thumbin through a scrap book
Holding back the tears
I keep wishin we could do it once more
Just the way we did before

Take me back to Sycamore Park
Put the radio dial to the golden oldies
Lay a blanket down and hold me
We can stay all night
By the light of the moon above
Take me back
Back to love

Ever since you took me to the big city
Looking for the start

Livin in the fast lane’s
Tearing us apart
Sometimes dontcha wanna trade it all in
For a little way back when

Take me back….

I remember sneakin out the back
Momma thought I was asleep
Watchin for your head lights
Creepin down the street
Tryin to steal a kiss any way we can
Back where it all began

Take me back….

You know it seems like
I’ve loved you forever
Who could be closer
Than you and I
People even say we’re so much alike
But they don’t know why

I’ve been lovin you so long
That I know every move you make
Every breath you take
What I feel is so strong
Sometimes I don’t know where I end
And where you begin
And it makes me so happy
Feelin like this

There’s so much ahead that
I don’t wanna miss
Oh I wanna keep it
So good so so so long
So fine so real so right
Oh I wanna keep it
So good so so so long

Oh darlin don’t think a minute
Time could ever steal the thrill away
You still got the power to be my man
And you know you can

I’ve been lovin you so long….
