I had a slight diversion
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I had a slight diversion
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I used to say I loved you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I took a diversion, a diversion, a diversion
To bring my love back to you
Now, now, now, now

Oh, I hear that all the boys are treating you bad
And I hear that Sexy Red is all you got
But I'd take a bet with you 
That he never told you 
That I went to jail for you
Now, now, now, now

I had a slight diversion
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I had a slight diversion
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I used to say I loved you
But yeah, yeah, yeah
I took a diversion, a diversion, a diversion
To bring my love back to you
Now, now, now, now

Remember how you laughed into my face
Do you remember them, 
The ones who took my place?
Well I'm lying there with you
And I'm trying hard to view
To think that I, I spent some time for you
Oh, Lord!

I had a slight diversion
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I had a slight diversion
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I used to say I loved you
But yeah, yeah, yeah
I had a diversion, a diversion, a diversion
To bring my love back to you
Now, now, now, now
I had a slight diversion
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I had a slight diversion
But I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back
I used to say I loved you
But yeah, yeah, yeah
I had a diversion, a diversion, a diversion
To bring my love back to you
Now, now, now, now
