I Mean (I Don't Mean It)

R. Kelly · Tp-2.Com [2000]

(Spoken) Yeah, I mean,

I'm not trying to hurt you baby, I don't wanna hurt you.

It's just sometimes you do things that make me say things

that I don't wanna say, you know what I'm saying?

You know I love you. You know I care about you.

This time you just brought it on yourself.

Check it out.



Now I shoulda been more man about the way things went down

Specially since we been dealing for like seven years now

I been slowly, slowly bringing you down

No conversation, no good sex in awhile

But still you search and find a way to love me somehow

Even though I lie you still trust me somehow

Got my face in some ice in a towel

Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly going down



I don't mean it (when I holler at you)

I don't mean it (when I say that we're through)

I don't mean it (when I'm taking you through)

I don't mean it (baby, I)

I don't mean it (said I'm sorry)

I don't mean it (can you find a way to forgive me?)

I don't mean it (said I went to church this morning)

I don't mean it (and I don't mean it)



Walking around here talking about how I'm a big playa now

Hittin them corners, blinging that ice, yeah Kelly makin hits now

Thinking about this industry and how I put it down

You were there for me when I used dishrags for towels

Them times when I didn't hear you I was talking too loud

When I didn't come home I was hanging with the crowd

Whenever we fight I try to win every round

Can you find a way to forgive me now?

(Repeat Chorus)



Kelly: Father can you help me?

God: What do you need from me?

Kelly: I broke up w/ my girl and now I'm feeling kinda lonely.

God: I been watching you from heaven Kelly, you been so demanding.

It's time you read my Word, son, and get some understanding.

Kelly: But I been busy w/ my music.

God: Stop making excuses. Recognize the love she gives

and try not to abuse it.

Kelly: Is it too late to get her back?

God: Not as long as I'm a fact.

Kelly: Then Father, show me sign to let me know she's mine

(Repeat Chorus)
