All I could see was her cigarette burnin'
She only smokes when she's sad
All I could hear was that engine turnin'
That's when I knew it was bad.

She's never made it as far
As the car before
She got my attention
When she slammed that Chevy door.

I best be hittin' my knees
Beggin' and pleadin'
Choking down some pride
Before she drops it into drive, I can't have that.
Best be foldin' my hands
For one more chance
Baby don't go
Let me love you back.

Trippin' and stumblin'
And barefooted on the gravel
Fightin' my way through the rain
I bang on the window
Oh, but she won't have it
She just keeps lookin' the other way.

She wipes away her tears
And the steam from the glass
Got her hand on the shifter
And her foot on the gas.

I best be hittin' my knees
Beggin' and pleadin'
Choking down some pride
Before she drops it into drive, I can't have that.
Best be foldin' my hands
For one more chance
Baby don't go
Let me love you back.

Oh, I hope it's not too late
But now I see that all you've ever done
Is put your heart and soul into loving me
And I know it's time I did my part.

Down on my knees beggin'
And pleadin' put away my pride
Baby, give me your hand
One more chance, don't go, don't go.

Let me love you back.
Let me love you back.

Aw, let me love you back.
Aw now, now, now, let me love you back.
Let me love you back
