[Verse 1]

I’m fessin’ up darling,
I’ve screwed up, feeling blue

I slipped out last night,
and slipped up with you

Went to the wrong bar

Had the wrong hand in mine

Saw your face in every light

It won’t happen another time.

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Every laugh felt hollow

Every touch was proof

I was standing in the shadow

Of the only one that’s true

 

[Chorus]

I may have gone out with her

But I’m coming right back to you

Every street

Every turn

Just keeps pulling me back to you

Thought I’d moved on

But that’s not what my heart wants to do

I may have gone out with her

But I’m coming right back to you (right back to you)

[Verse 2]

Her perfume

Wrong kind

Tasted like a borrowed lie

Tried to outrun what we had

Just ended up running out of time

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Called a ride from the corner

Didn’t even see the view

All I saw was your doorway

And me walking in to you

 

[Chorus]

I may have gone out with her

But I’m coming right back to you

Every street

Every turn

Just keeps pulling me back to you

Thought I’d moved on

But that’s not what my heart wants to do

I may have gone out with her

But I’m coming right back to you (right back to you)

 

 

 

[Bridge]

Leave the porch light burning

I’m three blocks away

Got a pocket full of sorry

And some better words to say (hey)

 

[Chorus]

I may have gone out with her

But I’m coming right back to you

Every mile

Every misstep

Still leads straight back to you

If you’ll unlock the door

I’ll prove what I swear is true

I may have gone out with her

But I’m coming right back to you (right back to you)
