we used to chase that boy home from
school
call him red headed freckled faced fool
he was different
he was'nt cool like me
sticks and stones did'nt break any bones
but we could'nt let well enough alone
and one day
he ran away from home you see
and i passed him as he walked away
and in his eyes i heard him say
one of these days your gonna love me
you'll set down by yourself and think
about the times you pushed and shoved
me
and what good friends we might have
been
then your gonna sigh a little
and maybe even cry a little but
one of these days
your gonna love me
Patty sue was a small town beauty
i took one look and had to pull her to me
lord knows she should've seen right through me
when i promised her the world
but at seventeen you only want one thing
and i left her standin with my high school ring
innocent tears in the pooring rain
as i walked away
and i still see her in my dreams
and to this day she's wispering
one of these days your gonna love me
You'll sit down by yourself and think
about the time you turned from me
and what good friends we might have
been
then your gonna sigh a little
and maybe even cry a little but
one of these days
your gonna love me
now everybody stands up
the congrigation sings
a song of sweet forgivness
and has the chorus rings
the wind blows clear my memories
the pages start to turn
and suddenly i'm singing
the moment that i learned
one of these days i'm gonna love me
and 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 smile a little
G pause)
and maybe even laugh a little but
one of these days
i'm gonna love me
