I Apologize - Anita Baker

Operator, get my baby on the line

'Cause 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

When the road gets rough

You say thangs you should not say

I never meant to treat my baby that way

I apologize

Oh, believe me I do

I apologize

Oh honest and true

Because I know I was wrong

And so I’ll sing you this song

And I’m tryna get through

And make it up to you, yes

Operator, it was like a bad dream

And 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 thangs you should not say

I never meant to treat my daddy that way

I apologize

Oh, believe me I do

I apologize

Oh honest and true

Because I knew I was wrong

So I’ll sing you this song

And I’m gonna get through, yeah

And make it up to you

I apologize for I was unkind

And I wish that I could go back in time

Erase the good-byes

And rewrite my life

But come rain or come shine

I’m wanna do it right this time

I apologize

(Believe me I do… honest and true)

Oh baby, I do

Because I knew I was wrong

That’s why I’m singing my my my song

Yeah yeah yes

I apologize, oh yes

I apologize, oh yes, 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, yeah yeah

(Believe me I do) Oh listen, oh baby

(Honest and true) I’m talking to you right now, oh, I’m talking to you

(I was wrong, I sing you this song)

I was wrong, baby, listen to me right now

Singing it to you right now, I was wrong

(Believe me I do… honest and true)

(I was wrong, I sing you this song)

(Believe me I do… honest and true)

(I was wrong, I sing you this song)
