Always on My Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I should have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Boy, I'm sorry I was blind

[Chorus]
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

[Verse 2]
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

[Chorus]
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied
[Outro]
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
