Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
anything that I wanted
You made sure I had it
I knew you were a
special kinda man
And now that your gone
I can see that I made a
mistake and I need you
Could you forgive me
for the things I've done wrong
(Baby)
I need to know
Can I make things right
Give me one more try
baby don't you know it's tragic
You don't know what you've got
til it's gone
Baby we had our love,
we had our way
If I only had you
Since you've been gone
I just need to know, baby
I wanna know
Could you forgive me
for the things I've done wrong
(Baby)
I need to know
Can I make things right
Give me one more try
You know I never meant to
hurt like that
And if I could ya' know I'd
take it all back
I promise that the
next time around
**Oooh!
I wanna know
Could you forgive me
for the things I've done wrong
(Baby)
I need to know
Can I make things right
Give me one more try
Sorry for the way that I
treated you baby
Doing what I did you know I
had to be crazy
I'll give up everything
to get you
I'm gonna do what it takes,
I gotta do what it takes
Forgive me, forgive me
You're the 1 and only
love of my life
Please say that I can come back
I miss my best friend,
I miss my best friend, Baby
Baby I'm sorry,
I need you baby,
can you forgive me
Baby I'm sorry,
I need you baby,
can you forgive me
Baby I'm sorry,
I need you baby,
can you forgive me

Let me tell you 1:02-1:31 was PURE EXCELLENT!!!!! Improvisational skills!! This is WHY she's the queen...She didn't even know how the damn songs went, but she KILLED that sh*& and improved it like NONE other...but, I didn't like this version live though...Chaka didn't know the song..Hell, she has countless songs she does for other people on their albums, and a BUNCH of stuff for herself...She record a song, and it's on to the next project!!!!!

@comeon6, IT has NEVER brought a Chaka Khan rarity here all by ITself because IT has no Chaka collection of IT's own! Anything IT uploads has already been shared online by someone else. The only thing IT does is (badly) upload all of it's stolen Chaka loot to 1 place under IT's name. IT has no real knowledge of Chaka Khan or music, so any opinion except IT's own is considered "negativity". IT is nothing major in my life but I hope IT knows I'll be somewhere laughing when IT's account is yanked.
