These two arms that held you close Are the same two arms that let you go I never thought I'd need your love again Forgive me oh what a fool I've been I was a fool to let you walk away I never thought I'd want you back someday I've hurt you time and time again Forgive me oh what a fool I've been [ fiddle - steel ] I gave up the love so sweet and true Just what any fool would do How I'd love to kiss those lips again Forgive me oh what a fool I've been I was a fool to let you walk away I should have known I'd want you back someday I've hurt you time and time again Forgive me oh what a fool I've been
