If I Hadn't Called You Back

Well-uh, where would you be, if you'd kept on walking, 
oh, where would you be, if I'd stopped talking 
If I hadn't said those words, and if you hadn't heard, 
when I said, "I'm sorry, please forgive me" 
Would you be happy, would you be crying, Lord, or would you be sad 
Where would you be, I say right now Lord, if I hadn't called her back 
Well-uh, where would you be, if you'd kept on walking, 
where would you be, if I's stopped talking 
I only know I need you so 
I wonder why do you want to go, after I've said, "I'm sorry, please, please forgive me" 
I want to know, I want to know, would you be crying , Lord, or would you be sad 
Where would you be, I say right now Lord, if I hadn't called her back
