Artist/Band: R. Kelly
Lyrics for Song: I Mean (I Don't Mean It)
Lyrics for Album: 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)


I Mean (I Don't Mean It)

Released in 2000 on the album Tp-2.Com, this R. Kelly track exemplifies the smooth, R&B-infused pop style that defined his early career. The recording features his signature falsetto and melodic phrasing, characteristic of the late 1990s and early 2000s sound. While the song carries themes of regret and emotional vulnerability, it remains a staple of his discography, showcasing his ability to blend romantic balladry with rhythmic sophistication. The track stands as a testament to his prolific output during a period where he dominated the adult contemporary charts with both vocal prowess and polished production.
