Lyrics

Always on My Mind [Top of the Pops - 1987/12/10]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]

Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should

Maybe I didn't love you

Quite as often as I could

[Pre-Chorus 1: Neil Tennant]

Little things I should have said and done

I never took the time

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]

Maybe I didn't hold you

All those lonely lonely times

And I guess I never told you

I'm so happy that you're mine

[Pre-Chorus 2: Neil Tennant]

If I made you feel second best

I'm so sorry I was blind

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Tell me

Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me

One more chance to keep you satisfied

Satisfied

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 1: Neil Tennant]

Little things I should have said and done

I never took the time

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Tell me

Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me

One more chance to keep you satisfied

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]

Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should

Maybe I didn't love you

Quite as often as I could

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]

Maybe I didn't hold you

All those lonely lonely times

And I guess I never told you

I'm so happy that you're mine
