When you told me you needed a little time on your own
   I kinda lied and said I'd be alright all alone
   My friends said hey man what can you do
   Let her see what's missing and she'll come back to you
   They all said it was for the best
   But I knew as I watched you leave
  
   I should've listened to me, and gotten down on my knees
   I heard the words in my heart, don't tear us apart
   Come back baby please
   I should've swallowed my pride, I should've broke down and cried
   I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be
   I should've listened to me
  
   Call it intuition, an instinctual feeling
   When you know you bet it all and your gonna lose everything
   That's what I had when you walked out the door
   And as each day passes I'm feeling it more and more
   Now that I'm hear it's all so clear
   How could I have made you see
  
   I should've listened to me, and gotten down on my knees
   I heard the words in my heart, don't tear us apart
   Come back baby please
   I should've swallowed my pride, I should've broke down and cried
   I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be
   I should've listened
  
   I should've listened to me, and gotten down on my knees
   I heard the words in my heart, don't tear us apart
   Come back baby please
   I should've swallowed my pride, I should've broke down and cried
   I was the one who knew that you and I were meant to be
   I should've listened to me
   I should've listened to me
