I didn't mean to be so late

It's just that I got talking

I had a drink with a couple of mates

Missed my bus and wound up walking

I tried to call and let you know

It was busy and I couldn't get through

I didn't want to let you down

I know how much it hurts you



I don't know what came over me

It must have slipped my mind

I'll try and make it up to you

Let's leave the past behind

I promise that I'll do my best

To mend my wicked ways

And don't believe the things you hear

Don't listen to what they say



(chorus)



I would do for you

All you'd have me do

All you have to do

Is ask me to

All you have to do

Is tell me when

And I'll come running back again



If there's something wrong then let me know

Don't bottle things inside

Your pretty eyes can melt my heart

Your sadness they can't hide

Please try and give me one more chance

To set the record straight

Meet me here tomorrow night

And I promise I won't be late



(chorus)



I would do for you.......(etc)
