Lyrics
When I had you to myself
Reflecting on a past time when the speaker had the person to themselves.
I didn't want you around
Expressing a lack of desire for the person's presence during that time.
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
Noticing that the person's attractive features always made them stand out in a crowd.
But someone picked you from the bunch
Someone else chose the person from a group of potential romantic interests.
When glance was all it took
Highlighting that a simple glance from the chosen person was enough to capture attention.
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Expressing regret for not taking a closer look or appreciating the person earlier.
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
Requesting another opportunity from the person with affectionate "Oh, baby."
Won't you please let me
Asking for a chance to be back in the person's heart.
(Back to your heart)
Reiterating the desire to return to the person's heart.
Oh, darlin, I was blind to let you go
Admitting regret for letting the person go, acknowledging past blindness.
But now since I see you in his arms
Realizing the consequences of seeing the person in someone else's arms.
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
Repeating the plea for another chance with affectionate language.
Won't you please let me
Requesting permission to be back in the person's heart.
(Back to your heart)
Reiterating the desire to return to the person's heart.
Oh, darlin, I was blind to let you go
Repeating the regret for letting the person go, emphasizing the realization.
But now since I see you in his arms
Acknowledging the impact of seeing the person in another's arms.
(Back to your heart)
Reiterating the plea to return to the person's heart.
When I had you to myself
Recalling the initial time when the speaker had the person exclusively.
I didn't want you around
Reiterating a lack of desire for the person's presence during that time.
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
Pointing out the attractiveness that made the person stand out.
But someone picked you from the bunch
Noting that someone else chose the person from a group of potential interests.
When glance was all it took
Emphasizing that a simple glance was enough for the person to be chosen.
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Reiterating regret for not taking a closer look or appreciating the person earlier.
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
Expressing a plea for another chance with affectionate language.
Won't you please let me
Requesting permission to be back in the person's heart.
(Back to your heart)
Reiterating the desire to return to the person's heart.
Oh, darlin, I was blind to let you go
Admitting regret for letting the person go, acknowledging past blindness.
But now since I see you in his arms
Realizing the consequences of seeing the person in someone else's arms.
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
Repeating the plea for another chance with affectionate language.
Won't you please let me
Requesting permission to be back in the person's heart.
(Back to your heart)
Reiterating the desire to return to the person's heart.
Oh, darlin, I was blind to let you go
Emphasizing regret for letting the person go, acknowledging the current situation.
But now since I see you in his arms
Recognizing the impact of seeing the person in someone else's arms.
