Something I Didn’t Do

There’s something I meant to do

but I can’t remember what it is

It sticks in the back of my head

There’s a deed to be done

and I feel it’s not finished

If only I could remember what it is

I’m on the floor begging

on my knees darlin, please

help me find what it is

Love me like you used to

pretend I’m that young man again

there’s something I need to do

Can’t you see I need you

need your love

I kiss the ground you walk upon

That’s something I meant to do
