Lyrics:

I’m always on the road, you’re always all alone
And I’m not always there when I’m at home
But I’m ready for a little change
I’m ready to accept some blame
So let’s back up to yesterday

Let’s get back in love
Back to dreamin’ of all those little things we used to do
Let’s start holdin’ hands
Let’s start makin’ plans, honey
Let’s get back to me and you

It’s not like it was when we fell in love
When all we had was enough
Well, I don’t like the blues
I like love that’s true, honey
Let’s get back to me and you

Let’s get back in love
Back to dreamin’ of
All those little things we used to do
Let’s start holdin’ hands
Let’s start makin’ plans, honey
Let’s get back to me and you

Let’s get back in love
Back to dreamin’ of
All those little things we used to do
Let’s start holdin’ hands
Let’s start makin’ plans, honey
Let’s get back to me and you

Yeah, let’s get back in love
Back to dreamin’ of
All those little things we used to do
Let’s start holdin’ hands
Let’s start makin’ plans, honey
Let’s get back to me and you
Well honey, let’s get on back to me and you
