JUEVES - LYRICS ("Always On My Mind – Pet Shop Boys")

- Always On My Mind – Pet Shop Boys
 
Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should.
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could.
Little things I should've said and done, I never took the time.
You were always on my mind.
You were always on my mind.
 
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.
If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind.
You were always on my mind.
You were always on my mind.
 
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died.
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied.
Satisfied.
 
Little things I should've said and done, I never took the time.
You were always on my mind.
You were always on my mind.
 
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died.
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied.
 
You were always on my mind. (x6)
 
Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should.
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could.
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.
 
(Maybe I didn't love you...)
 
- Notas: Esta canción fue compuesta en 1971, y Elvis Presley fue quien hizo una versión que saltó a la fama.  En 1987, 10 años tras el fallecimiento de Elvis, se organizó un homenaje a este cantante por televisión, y a este homenaje fueron invitados varios cantantes y grupos que debían de interpretar uno de sus éxitos. El grupo Pet Shop Boys aceptó participar, aunque nunca fueron grandes fans de Elvis, y optaron por hacer una nueva versión de esta canción, que de hecho pasó a ser uno de sus mayores éxitos.
La canción en sí se sitúa en la perspectiva de un hombre que posiblemente ha llevado una vida egoísta, dejando de lado a la persona a la que amase, hasta que esta se cansó y le abandonó. Esto obligó al protagonista a replantearse su relación y a pedir perdón en un vano intento de recuperar a su pareja.
