I'm Sorry

Blackstreet · Finally [1999]

I'm sorry, I would do anything for you

Will you forgive me?

Just don't cry, don't cry, listen

Oh yeah, just wanted to talk to you

I'm sorry



Just when you think you're strong enough

Temptation raises it's head

Cuz I kept on thinkin'

That I got a good woman back home

But I didn't regret it 'til it was over

(What should I do?)

I shoulda never told

(You were untrue)

How could I let it show?



[1] - That girl put a spell on me

I couldn't stop thinking about it

But I've got my lady

That I can't live without



[2] - If you look in my eyes, it says I'm sorry

I didn't mean to hurt or ever make you cry

I know I've got a good thing, girl

So don't you worry

I'll go outta my way to keep you satisfied



We've got a future, gotta move along

I know it's easier said than done

But don't let this one mistake

Put a break on what we've made

Please forgive me, I'm so sorry, oh



[8th Ave]

Even though I forgive you

It won't be the same

All those sleepless nights

Explaining everything



[Repeat 1]



[Repeat 2]



[Blackstreet]

Girl, I'm sorry, forgive me

There's no reason why

Please don't cry



I love you, oh, no, oh, oh

Lady, lady, little lady

Please, I promise I

I'm saying that I'm sorry



[Repeat 2]



[Repeat 2]



Girl, I'm sorry, forgive me

There's no reason why

But please don't cry

I love you

Oh, oh

Lady, lady, lady, lady

Please be on my side

I'm sayin' that I'm sorry



[Repeat 2]



[Repeat 2]



I'm sorry
