I'm sorry
B.B. King and Bobby Bland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I was such a fool
I didn't know love could so cruel
You tell me mistakes
Are part being young,
But that doesn't right
I'm sorry, so sorry
Please accept my apology,
But love is blind
And I was too blind to see
The song "I'm Sorry" by B.B. King and Bobby "Blue" Bland is a classic blues ballad that speaks to the pain and regret that comes with losing a loved one due to foolish behavior. The singer is apologizing for his mistakes, admitting that he was a fool for not realizing how cruel love can be. Despite being young and making mistakes being a natural part of life, the singer knows the wrong that was done cannot be undone.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of love being blind and the singer being too blind to see the damage he was causing until it was too late. Perhaps he took his partner for granted or didn't appreciate what they had until it was gone. The use of repetition emphasizes the depth of the singer's regret - he is so sorry, and hopes that his apology will be accepted.
Overall, "I'm Sorry" is a powerful reminder of the importance of being present in our relationships and showing love and appreciation to those we care about before it's too late. It also highlights the reality that even the strongest love can be damaged by foolish mistakes.

Where can i find more of this kind of performance, with audience laughing and singers telling a story and singing ? Its soo good.
@ravnmavn
They don't make this kind of music anymore because it humbles folks. They don't want people focusing on the good things in life! They like our depression our anxiety and worry and our fear! This kind of music doesn't serve the nefarious powers-that-be! 🤷🏾♀️ They don't want people to have hope!
