I apologize lyrics
by Anita Baker
Operator, get my baby on the line
Just the other night
We had a horrible fight
I admit that I
I was out of control
But I still love my man
With my body and soul
The road gets rough
We say things we should not say
But I never meant to
Treat my baby that way
I apologize, believe me, I do
I apologize, honest and true
Because I know I was wrong
So I sing you this song
And I'm trying to get through
And make it up to you
Operator, it was like a bad dream
Lord, you should have heard
The way he shouted and
The way that I screamed
I regret it cause I was unfair
I took it all out on him
Just because he was there
When the road gets rough
You say things you should not say
But I never meant to treat
My daddy that way
I apologize, believe me, I do
I apologize, honest and true
Because I know I was wrong
So I sing you this song
And I'm gonna get through
And I'll make it up to you
I apologize, for I was unkind
And I wish that I could
Roll back in time
Erase the goodbyes
And rewrite my lines
But come rain or come shine
I'm gonna do right this time
I apologize
Oh, baby, I do
Because I know I was wrong
So I sing you my, my, my song
Yeah, yeah
I apologize, I apologize, oh, yes
Because I know I was wrong
And so I sing you this song
And I wanna get, I gotta get
I need to get through to you
Oh, listen, oh, baby
I'm talking to you right now
Oh, I'm talking to you
I was wrong, baby
Listen to me right here
Singing to you right now
(Scat singing to fade)
