Yeah, like I was saying
|
I ain't, ya know what
|
I'm not tryin' to say things to hurt you
|
You know what I'm saying
|
I don't wanna hurt you, baby
|
Just sometimes you do things
|
That push me to say things 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
|
Yo, check it out
|
|
Now I shoulda been more man
|
About the way things went down
|
Especially since we been dealin'
|
For like seven years now
|
I've been slowly, slowly bringing you down
|
No conversation, no good sex in a while
|
But still you search and find a way
|
To love me somehow
|
Even though I ride, you still trust me somehow
|
Got my faces, some ice and a tie
|
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly goin' down
|
|
(I don't mean it) When I hollar at you
|
(I don't mean it) When I say that we're through
|
(I don't mean it) What I'm takin' you through
|
(I don't mean it) Baby
|
(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) I don't mean it
|
|
Running around here talking about
|
How I'm a big player now
|
Hidden in corners, blinging out our share
|
Kelly makin' hits now
|
Thinking about this industry
|
And how I put it out
|
You were there for me
|
When I used dish rags for ties
|
There's times that I didn't hear you
|
I was talkin' 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
|
|
(I don't mean it) Cuz I don't mean it
|
(I don't mean it) When I hollar at you
|
(I don't mean it) Whenever I say we're through
|
(I don't mean it) Whoa
|
(I don't mean it) Can you find a way to forgive
|
(I don't mean it) Ooh baby, I
|
(I don't mean it) I went to church this mornin'
|
(I don't mean it) Ooh I don't mean it
|
|
[R.] Father, can you help me?
|
[Priest]What do you need from me?
|
[R.] I broke up with my girl and I'm feelin' kinda lonely
|
[Priest]I been watching you from Heaven, Kelly
|
You been so demanding
|
You need to read my word, son
|
And get some understanding
|
[R.] But I been busy with my music
|
[Priest]Stop making excuses
|
Recognize the love she gives
|
And try not to abuse it
|
[R.] Is it too late to get her back?
|
[Priest]Not as long as I'm a fact
|
[R.] Well father, show me a sign
|
That will make her mine
|
|
(I don't mean it) I don't mean it
|
(I don't mean it) Whenever I say we're through
|
(I don't mean it) Or whenever I hollar at you
|
(I don't mean it) Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
|
(I don't mean it) Ooh baby, ooh baby
|
(I don't mean it) See what was straight is now stone
|
(I don't mean it) Because I took you for granted, oh
|
(I don't mean it) Whoa
|
(I don't mean it) Whoa you should know I don't mean it
|
(I don't mean it) I put it on my life
|
(I don't mean it) Believe me I pay the price
|
(I don't mean it) When I was down and out
|
(I don't mean it) You reached out your hand
|
(I don't mean it) I've learned it takes a good woman
|
(I don't mean it) To raise a man
|
(I don't mean it) Oh, I love you baby
|
(I don't mean it) Oh oh oh I love you baby
|
