Please Forgive Me
Back To Basics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It still feels like our first night together

Feels like the first kiss
It's getting better baby
No one can better this
Still holding on
You're still the one
First time our eyes met

Same feeling I get
Only feels much stronger
I want to love you longer
Do you still turn the fire on?

So if you're feeling lonely, don't
You're the only one I'll ever want
I only want to make it good
So if I love you, a little more than I should

Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, I need you like I do

Please believe me, every word I say is true
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you

Still feels like our best times are together

Feels like the first touch
We're still getting closer baby
Can't get closer enough
Still holding on
You're still number one

I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves
I remember you yeah
I remember the nights, you know I still do

So if you're feeling lonely, don't
You're the only one I'll ever want
I only want to make it good
So if I love you a little more than I should

Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do

Please believe me, every word I say is true
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you

The one thing I'm sure of
Is the way we make love
The only thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm praying
That's why I'm saying

Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you

Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you




Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
