Baby I'm Sorry
Rick Nelson · Lonesome Town Complete Record Releases 1957-59 [1992]
If you love me like you say you do, baby be true to me
If you love me like you say you do, baby never stray from me
I want you darling, everybody decide now, baby can't you see
Oh baby, I'm sorry (oh baby, I'm sorry.)
For all the wrong I've done (for all the wrong I've done)
Oh baby, I'm sorry (oh baby, I'm sorry)
For all the wrong I've done (for all the wrong I've done)
Say you'll forgive me, I know I've done you mighty wrong.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh baby, I'm sorry (oh baby, I'm sorry)
For all the wrong I've done (for all the wrong I've done)
Say you'll forgive me, I know I've done you mighty wrong.
If you want me, everybody decide, you got to be true to me
If you want me, everybody decide, you got to stay home with me
Don't want no other man to love you, oh baby can't you see
Oh baby I'm sorry (oh baby, I'm sorry.)
--- Instrumental ---
Oh baby, I'm sorry (oh baby, I'm sorry...)
