All I could see was her cigarette burning
She only smokes when she´s sad
All I could hear was that engine turning
That´s when I knew it was bad

She´s never made it as far as the car before
She got my attention when she slammed that Chevy door

I best be hitting my knees begging and pleading
Choking down some pride before she drops it into drive I can´t have that
Best be folding my hands for one more chance
Baby don´t go let me love you back

Tripping and stumbling and barefoot on the gravel
Fighting my way through the rain
Bang on the window oh but she won´t have it
She just keeps looking the other way
She wipes away her tears and the steam from the glass

Got her hand on the shifter and her foot on the gas

I best be hitting my knees begging and pleading
Choking down some pride before she drops it into drive I can´t have that
Best be folding my hands for one more chance
Baby don´t go let me love you back

I hope it´s not too late but now I see that all you´ve ever done
Is put your heart and soul into loving me
And I know it´s time I did my part

Down on my knees begging and pleading put away my pride

Baby give me your hand one more chance don´t go don´t go
Let me love you back let me love you back
