Wanted
Yearning for Redemption: Alan Jackson's Heartfelt Plea
Lyrics
Excuse me, ma'am, can you help me?
Asking for assistance to place a personal ad.
I need to place an ad with you today
Expressing urgency to place the ad today.
No, ma'am, tomorrow may be too late
Warning that waiting until tomorrow might be too late.
I'd like to have it started right away
Desire to initiate the process without delay.
What's that? No, this is personal
Clarifying that the request is personal, not business-related.
I'm not buying or selling anything
Asserting not involved in buying or selling.
Yes, ma'am, I know just what to say
Confident in knowing what to say for the ad.
I wrote it down, this is how it should read
Explaining that the ad content is written down.
Wanted: One good-hearted woman
Announcing the need for a good-hearted woman.
To forgive imperfection in the man that she loved
Describing the woman's role: forgiving imperfections in the man she loves.
Wanted: just one chance to tell her
Expressing the desire for a chance to tell the woman.
How much he still loves her
Stating the depth of love and the regret for past mistakes.
He can't be sorry enough
Acknowledging the inadequacy of apologies.
What's that? No, that's all I wanna say
Reiterating the focus on the few lines to convey the message.
I just hope these few lines will get to her
Hoping that the lines will reach and resonate with her.
Yes, ma'am, she means everything
Acknowledging the woman's significance in the man's life.
I hope she comes back when she reads these words
Expressing hope that the woman returns after reading the words.
Wanted: One good-hearted woman
Reiterating the need for a good-hearted woman.
To forgive imperfection in the man that she loved
Reemphasizing the woman's role in forgiving imperfections.
Wanted: just one chance to tell her
Repeating the desire for a chance to express love.
How much he still loves her
Restating the depth of love and the regret for past mistakes.
He can't be sorry enough
Affirming the insufficiency of apologies.
Wanted
Concluding with a simple "Wanted."
