Sorry Adam
.BRITNEY SPEARS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tasted Extraordinary
Can't go back to ordinary
I tasted Extraordinary
Can't go back to ordinary
I woke up in the Garden of Eden
Had to pitch myself to see if I'm dreaming
I can taste it on my lips what I've eaten
And this fruit is forbidden
I should not be here
But I don't feel wrong
I was tempted
And let myself lose
All control
This is Eve
I don't wanna leave

I'm sorry Adam
I ate the apple
I didn't walk away when I heard the rattle
I'm sorry Adam
Don't try to help me
You're gonna have to go and build the world without me
I'm sorry
I, I, I, I, I ate the apple, 'cause I
I, I, I, I ate the apple, 'cause I
I, I, I, I ate the apple
I'm sorry Adam
I'm sorry Adam

I woke up in the Garden of Eden
And it's changing everything I believe in
'Cause the grass is greener
And the trees are gold
I can't help it, no
'Cause it makes me feel so
Beautiful
This is Eve
I can't leave

I'm sorry Adam
I ate the apple
I didn't walk away when I heard the rattle
I'm sorry Adam
Don't try to help me
You're gonna have to go and build the world without me
I'm sorry
I, I, I, I, I ate the apple, 'cause I
I, I, I, I ate the apple, 'cause I
I, I, I, I ate the apple
I'm sorry Adam
I'm sorry Adam

I tasted extraordinary
Can't go back to ordinary
I tasted extraordinary
Can't go back to ordinary
I tasted extraordinary
Can't go back to ordinary
I'm sorry Adam

Ohh
This is Eve
I need to be free

I'm sorry Adam
I ate the apple
I didn't walk away when I heard the rattle
I'm sorry Adam
Don't try to help me
You're gonna have to go and build the world without me
I'm sorry
I, I, I, I, I ate the apple, 'cause I
I, I, I, I ate the apple, 'cause I
I, I, I, I ate the apple




I'm sorry Adam (I'm sorry Adam)
I'm sorry Adam (I'm sorry Adam)
