I Take It Back
French Title: Je Retire Tout - 1968
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; James Cobb
Performer(s): Sandy Posey - 1967



Here he comes now 
I've got to tell him somehow
I could put it off till later but it's best I do it now

Baby listen to me there is something I must try to say
I've put it off so long but I've decided that today is the day
My love for you is dying
Oh no, please don't start crying
I take it back
I didn't mean it
Please forget the things I said
I take it back
I'm sorry
I must have been out
Of my head

He's such a man 
It must have hurt him a lot if he let me see him cry 
But I must try again...this time I'll say goodbye

Baby you've been good to me you've always been the best you could
So try to understand me now the way you've always understood
I can't go on another day
Oh please, don't look at me that way
I take it back
I didn't mean it
Please forget what I just said
I take it back 
I'm sorry 
I must have been out
Of my head

Sometimes it's better to be loved, than it is to love
