I Apologize

[Intro]
One, a-two, a-three, and
Woo, yeah
[Scatting]

[Verse 1]
Operator, get my baby on the line
Just the other night, we had a horrible fight
And I admit it, you see, I got out of control
But I still love my baby with my body and soul
You see, when the road gets rough
We say some things we shouldn't say, no, no
But I never, ever, ever meant to
Treat my baby that way

[Chorus]
I apologize (Believe me I do), yeah
Believe me I do
I apologize (Honest and true)
Oh, honest and true
Because I knew was wrong
That's why I'm singing my song to my honey
Trying to get through
Just to make it on up to you, woo

[Verse 2]
Operator, it was like a bad dream
And Lord, you should've heard the way my baby
The way we shouted and screamed
I regret it, you see, I was being unfair
Took it all out on my sugar baby
Just because you were there
When the road gets rough
We say some things we should not say
But I never, ever, ever, ever meant to
Treat my baby that way

[Chorus]
I apologize, yeah (Believe me I do)
Believe me I do
I apologize, yeah (Honest and true)
Woo, honest and true
You see, I knew was wrong
That is why I'm singing my song
Trying to get through
Just to make it on up

[Bridge]
I apologize 'cause I was unkind
And I wish that I could go back in time
Erase the goodbyes, ooh, rewrite my lines
Come rain or come shine
I'm gonna do right this time

[Chorus]
See, I apologize (Believe me I do)
Woo, believe me I do
I apologize, oh (Honest and true)
Honest and true
'Cause I knew was wrong
(I'm singing that song)
I'm singing my song, singing my song
Trying to get through to you, baby
To make it on, make it up to you

[Scatting]

[Outro]
Never be mean to the one you love
(Talk about it, brother)
It's not a good feeling at all
(No, no, no, no)
Sometimes you gotta get on your knees
(I'm doing it right now)
Humble yourself
(Oh Lord)
Tell your baby you love her
(I love you, baby)
You'd be nothing without her
(Nothing without you, no)
You just got to say what I say
You gotta say, "I apologize 'cause now I realize
That I was wrong"
So why don't you sing it one more time to me
"I apologize 'cause now I realize
That I was wrong"
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
But I apologize
Yes, I do; yes, I do; yes, I do
