Love You Back

All I could see was her cigarette burnin'

She only smokes when she's sad

All I could hear was that engine turnin'

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 hittin' my knees

Beggin' and pleadin'

Choking down some pride

Before she drops it into drive, I can't have that.

Best be foldin' my hands

For one more chance

Baby don't go

Let me love you back.

Trippin' and stumblin'

And barefooted on the gravel

Fightin' my way through the rain

I bang on the window

Oh, but she won't have it

She just keeps lookin' 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 hittin' my knees

Beggin' and pleadin'

Choking down some pride

Before she drops it into drive, I can't have that.

Best be foldin' my hands

For one more chance

Baby don't go

Let me love you back.

Oh, 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 beggin'

And pleadin' 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.

Aw, let me love you back.

Aw now, now, now, let me love you back.

Let me love you back
