Your face, got all bunched up
I could sense the tension in the air,
You're pretty good at pretending but there's no way of fooling me
You said, how it was perfect
I tried to believe your claim,
I knew what you wanted was a receipt for an exchange

I tried, please forgive me! For the stupid present that I gave you...

I knew, what you wanted
How could I have been so stupid?
What was I thinking when I picked it off the shelf?
If I could, (if you could!) only try again
But I suppose that it's too late, next year is so far away you know you can't wait till then

I tried, please forgive me! For the stupid present that I gave you...

I had good intentions had I only paid attention to the request you made the other night
What was I thinking I must have been drinking when I picked it off the shelf?

I tried, please forgive me! For the stupid present that I gave you...
