Lyrics

She’s gone
Out of my life
I was wrong
I’m to blame
I was so untrue
I can’t live without her love
In my life
There’s just an empty space
All my dreams are lost
I’m wasting away
Forgive me, girl

Lady, won’t you save me?
My heart belongs to you
Lady, can you forgive me
For all I’ve done to you?
Lady, oh, lady

She’s gone
Out of my life
Oh, she’s gone
I find it so hard to go on
I really miss that girl, my love

Come back into my arms
I’m so alone
I’m begging you
I’m down on my knees
Forgive me, girl

Lady, won’t you save me?
My heart belongs to you
Lady, can you forgive me
For all I’ve done to you?
Lady, oh, lady, oh, lady

Lady, won’t you save me?
My heart belongs to you
Lady, can you forgive me
For all I’ve done to you?

Lady, oh, lady
My heart belongs to you
Lady, can you forgive me?
For all I’ve done to you
