Eddie Rabbitt – On Second Thought lyrics
Sometimes a man does things without half thinkin’
And what I saw I did not understand
I called you names and said some things that hurt you
And in the heat I started walkin’ out that door
But on second thought I’ll just turn around in my
Tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong
I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I’ve done
‘Cause you’re the only one I’ll always be in love with
I know it’s not your fault that you’re so pretty
And that you turn the head of every man
I understand
But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin’ I don’t love you any more
But on second thought I’ll just turn around in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong
I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I’ve done
‘Cause you’re the only one I’ll always be in love with
But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin’ I don’t love you any more
But on second thought I’ll just turn around in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong
I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I’ve done
‘Cause you’re the only one I’ll always be in love with
Yes you’re the only one I’ll always be in love with
