Escrita por Wayne Carson, Mark James and Johnny Christopher, foi gravada por Elvis em 29 de março de 1972 e lançada em 31 de outubro de 1972 no compacto que tinha Separate ways como Lado A.
Foi gravada inicialmente por Gwen McCrae e depois por Brenda Lee, todas em 1972.
Elvis seria o terceiro a gravar, mas ainda no mesmo ano. Ele gravaria pouco tempo depois da sua separação com Priscila, em fevereiro de 1972.
Seria regravada dezenas de vezes, entre elas a gravação de Willie Nelson, de 1982 e também a dos Pet Shop Boys, de 1987, entre outros artistas.
A letra:
Maybe
I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I
didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should
have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my
mind
(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 make you feel
second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my
mind
(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
Give me one more chance
To
keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should
have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my
mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my
mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't treat
you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love
you
Quite as often as I could have
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 treat
you
Quite as good as I should have
