Rabbitt, Eddie - On Second Thought Lyrics






Sometimes a man does things without half thinkin'
And what I saw I did not understand
I called you names and said some things that hurt you
And in the heat I started walkin' out that door

But on second thought I'll just turn around in my
Tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong
I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with

I know it's not your fault that you're so pretty
And that you turn the head of every man
I understand
But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin' I don't love you any more

But on second thought I'll just turn around in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong
I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with

But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin' I don't love you any more

But on second thought I'll just turn around in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong
I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with

Yes you're the only one I'll always be in love with

  6. M.... .....

    The Concept Video is a cool one

  7. c.... ....

    My friend, teacher, and bandmate on lead guitar at 2:30...great solo! Mr. Lee Garner!

    c.... ....

    I love the fills, too. Today's music severely lacks this element. Several months ago, when I first saw this video, I wondered who the guitarist is, and finally figured out with Google's help. At first glance, however, I thought he was Scottish musician and comedian Billy Connolly. Note the resemblance at the following link: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F72%2F49%2F9d%2F72499dbc10d031d07acede388568fbcf.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F343399540321303169%2F&docid=vpPV8YwvkGR2KM&tbnid=WjulEwxRWEuqMM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwjHsL6A3ZjhAhVHL6wKHZd3BfkQMwi0ASg8MDw..i&w=638&h=900&client=firefox-b-1-d&bih=956&biw=1599&q=Billy%20Connolly&ved=0ahUKEwjHsL6A3ZjhAhVHL6wKHZd3BfkQMwi0ASg8MDw&iact=mrc&uact=8#h=900&imgdii=o5fM4lRokbSrqM:&vet=10ahUKEwjHsL6A3ZjhAhVHL6wKHZd3BfkQMwi0ASg8MDw..i&w=638

    He belongs in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Eddie’s been gone almost 21 years now. Disgraceful his wife and children are being denied enjoying that honor. He had something like a 10 year unbroken string of number one hit singles!!

    Crystal needs to be coming up for consideration also.!

    J.... M....

    Absolute BS for sure Joel, This man had he lived longer would have been the greatest.

    J.... M....

    agree 100% with you on both parts! ... do you by chance have the link for the original video associated with this song have tried finding it and cannot .. no place on youtube does it exist anymore it seems if you have it please email it to me at [email protected] thanks

  9. m.... ....

    Great . Nice guitar works. One of Eddie's best songs.

  10. A.... J....

    One of my all time favorite artists. Just like Keith Whitley and John Lennon, he left this world way too soon.

  11. g.... ....

    "On Second thought" was written in 1975, and its easy to say to say it is an 'Idiom' (a 3-4 word equivalent phrase) of 'On the Other Hand' written/song by Randy Travis 10 yrs later. So to say Eddie Rabbit Influenced legendary Randy Travis & Alan Jackson among others is 100% correct.

    g.... ....

    I heard Eddie say in an interview that he wrote "On Second Thought" in the back of his touring bus while going through Montana and he wrote it to record on his new album (Jersey Boy) in 1989. In 1975 he was just getting started recording and wasn't touring yet. No doubt he did influence many artists though and I don't think he gets the recognition he deserves from the Music City establishment.

  12. C.... H....

    Not under rated but just so over looked.... Mr.Rabbit Sir your a LEGEND....AWESOME SINGER and SONGWRITER....

  13. C.... H....

    Fuck that little guy at the 3.20 mark.... that is PRICELESS

  18. K.... W....

    I had the privilege of hearing him in concert in Des Moines after I came back from the Gulf War, he was awesome

  19. A.... ....

    The little boy playing the guitar is a cutie! Eddie isn't bad either! Happy 77th birthday in heaven.

    A.... ....

    Eddie was a class act, pointing out the little boy and sharing the spotlight.

    A.... ....

    That little guy NAILS IT... I almost lost it....

  20. M.... W....

    A BIG THANK YOU TO YOUTUBE FOR MAKING ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE. WE LOVE YOU YOUTUBE.

  21. M.... W....

    James Stiltner thank you for putting this wonderful song on youtube

  22. M.... ....

    Professor Rabbitt pretty much reinvented himself with his I Wanna Dance With You LP for RCA Victor, and from that point on, he was formidable. I would go as far as to say that On Second Thought was one of the three definitive masterpieces of the so-called New Traditionalist movement of the late 1980s-early 1990s. He finished his race well.

  23. c.... ....

    Love this song,I can listen to it over and over!

  24. M.... M....

    I AM DED THIS TO M & AMANDA. MIKE IZ A BG LIAR. YET. REM HE IS A LOL CUTE

    T.... ....

    @Kathleen Norris this appearance at the Grand Ole Opry was in October of 1995 and it was over two years later that he was diagnosed with cancer. My all time favorite artist.
