We used to chase that boy home from school
Called him freckled face and red headed fool
He was different; he wasn't cool like me
Sticks and stones didn't break any bones
But we never let well enough alone, 'till one day
He ran away from home...you see
I passed him as he walked away
And in his eyes I heard him say
Chorus:
One of these days you're gonna love me
Sit down by yourself and think
About all of the times you pushed and shoved me
And what good friends we might have been
Then you're gonna sigh a little
Maybe even cry a little...
One of these days, you're gonna love me
Addie Sue was a small town beauty; I took one look at her
And had to pull her to me
Lord knows, she should have seen right through me
When I promised her the world
But at seventeen you only want one thing
So I left her standin' with my high school ring
Innocent tears in the pourin' rain
While I walked away
I still see her in my dreams
To this day she's whispering
Chorus:
One of these days you're gonna love me
Sit down by yourself and think
About the time you turned from me
And what good friends we might have been
Then you're gonna sigh a little
Maybe even cry a little...
One of these days, you're gonna love me
Everybody stands up, the congregation sings
It's a song of sweet forgiveness...and as the chorus rings
The wind blows clear my memory; the pages start to turn
And suddenly I'm singing, the moment that I learn
Chorus:
One of these days I'm gonna love me
Feel the joy of sweet release
One of these days I'll rise above me
And at last I'll find some peace
Then I'm gonna sigh a little
Maybe even laugh a little...
One of these days...I'm gonna love me
