I'm Sorry
Blackstreet Feat. 8th Avenue & Queen Pen Lyrics

I'm sorry
Apology for something that was done wrong

I will do anything for you
Willing to go to great lengths to make things right again

Will you forgive me?
Asking for forgiveness for what was done wrong

Just don't cry, don't cry
Trying to comfort the person and prevent emotional pain

Just wanted to talk to you
Making an attempt to communicate and resolve the issue

Just when you think you're strong enough
Feeling confident, but things still went wrong due to temptation

Temptation raises it's head
Being tempted by something that should be avoided

'Cause I kept on thinking
Overthinking led to making a mistake

That I got a good woman back home
Having someone special waiting at home

But I didn't regret it
At the time, thought it was okay to give in to temptation

Til it was over (what should I do?)
Only realizing the mistake after the fact and unsure of what to do next

I shoulda never told (you were untrue)
Should not have brought up something that was not true

How could I let it show?
Regret for expressing those thoughts and feelings

That girl put a spell on me
Feeling powerless to resist the temptation of another person

I couldn't stop thinking about it
Being consumed by the temptation

But I've got my lady
Reaffirming that the special someone back home is more important

That I can't live without, oh
Acknowledging the significant role that person plays in life

If you look in my eyes, it says I'm sorry
Using body language to express regret and remorse

I didn't mean to hurt or ever make you cry
Feeling remorseful for causing emotional pain and distress

I know I've got a good thing, girl
Realizing that what is at stake is worth fighting for

So don't you worry (no, no, no, no)
Reassuring the partner that things will turn out okay

We've got a future, I don't move along
Believing that there is still hope for the relationship to work out and not wanting to give up

I know it's easier said than done
Recognizing that it will be difficult to get through this, but still willing to try

But don't let this one mistake
Admitting to the mistake and urging not to let it ruin the relationship

Put a break on what we make
Not allowing the mistake to hinder the progress and growth of the relationship

Please, forgive me, I'm so sorry, oh
Asking for forgiveness once again and expressing regret

Even though I forgive you (oh)
Acknowledging that the partner also makes mistakes and has been forgiven before

It won't be the same (oh)
Admitting that the relationship may not go back to how it was before

All those sleepless nights (oh-ooh)
Reflecting on the emotional pain and disruption to sleep

Explain everything
Wanting to clear the air and talk things through

Lady, lady
Addressing the partner affectionately

Need you by my side (oh-oh)
Expressing the importance of the relationship and needing the partner

Saying that I'm sorry
Reiterating the apology

If you look in my eyes, it says I'm sorry
Using eye contact to convey apology and sincerity

I didn't mean to hurt (don't wanna hurt you, baby) or ever make you cry
Repeating regret for causing pain

I'll go outta my way (I'll go out of my way) to keep you satisfied
Being willing to put in extra effort to make the relationship work

Come on, babe
Making a plea for the partner to forgive

I wanna be right there to give you all of me, yeah yeah yeah
Promising to be dedicated to the partner and giving them all their effort and attention

We've got a good thing, baby
Affirming the worth of the relationship

I'll go outta my way to keep you satisfied
Having a desire to make the partner happy and feel loved
