This is an amazing, uptempo song about a man's regrets and wishes that won't come true. He starts the song mournful that he didn't do enough to keep his love near him, that he took her for granted. Later in the song it switches from 'i'll say please, please dont tear your heart from me' to 'you'll say please...', perhaps showing that the man truly doesn't deserve her- that he hasn't changed and feels he wasn't completely at fault. Maybe I'm way off, but that's how I see it.
