(Coverdale/Vandenberg)

Now I smoke a lot of cigarettes,
And I've been drinking too much wine
You've been patient and understanding,

I guess I went to far this time
I cut you with my drunken words,
So much sharper than a knife,
But, you turned the tables on me, baby,
Just by walking out of my life

Too late to say I'm sorry,
It won't happen anymore
But, you don't believe a word I say
'Cause you've heard it all before
But, all the same,
Won't you take me back again

Don't say it's over,
After all that we've been through
Take some time to think about it, baby,
While I sing my song to you
Your suitcase by the back door,
Packed with broken dreams,
When night time comes to call on me,
I'll know what loneliness means
But, all the same,
Won't you take me back again

Take me back again, take me back again
All I'm asking is forgiveness,
Won't you take me back again
Take me back again, take me back again
All I'm asking is forgiveness,
Won't you take me back again

But, baby, all the same
Won't you take me back again
Take me back again, take me back again

But, baby, all the same
Won't you take me back again
Take me back again, take me back again
Won't you take me back again
No, no, no, no, take me back again

Don't walk away from me baby
I beggin' you please, uh
I beggin' you please, uh
Take me back again
Take me back again
