Since you been gone I feel my life slipping away I look to the sky And everything is turnin' gray All I made was one mistake How much more will I have to pay Why can't you think it over Why can't you forget about the past Chorus: When love makes this sound babe A heart needs a second chance Don't put me down babe Can't you see I love you Since you been gone I've been in a trance This heart needs a second chance Don't say it's over I just can't say goodbye So this is love Standing in the pouring rain I fooled on you But she never meant a thing And I know I ain't got no right To ask you to sympathize But why can't you think it over Why can't you forget the past Chorus I never loved her I never needed her She was willing and that's all there is to say Don't forsake me Please don't leave me now A heart needs a second chance Please forgive me and forget it I was wrong and I admit it But why can't we talk it over Why can't we forget about forget about the past.
