Merle Haggard - What I've Been Meaning to Say lyrics

What I've been meaning to say is I need you all the time I can't stand you being away, I've come to depend on your mind You're my only friend in the world, you'd bend over backwards for me And I love you so little girl, that's what I've been meaning to say And I should have kissed you and told you I missed you And you're the best part of my day And I should have told you I wanted to hold you That's what I've been meaning to say That's what I've been meaning to say And I should have kissed you and told you I missed you And you're the best part of my day And I should have told you I wanted to hold you That's what I've been meaning to say That's what I've been meaning to say
