"When I first emerged on the scene as a recording artist, there was no smooth jazz but there was support for my music on R&B and Urban radio and that support has only continued to grow," says Waters, who in recent years has enjoyed considerable airplay on Urban AC radio with his projects like Streetwize and Tha’ Hot Club, which reinvent chart-topping hip hop, R&B and reggae hits with a jazzy twist. For Waters his formula is simple. “I make music for everybody from eight to 80! There are several ingredients that are integral parts of my music mix. There’s got to be a perfect blend of romance and groove and a singable melody that catches the ear.” Kim Waters’ 2004 CD, In the Name of Love, held a spot in the top 25 of Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts for six months and stayed on that chart for an entire year.
I'm sorry
Kim Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that I'm the foolish one
Now that I see who's to blame
I'm so ashamed, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for the things I've said
Just like a child, I lost my head
I should have known from the start
Please be kind and I know you'll find
It's so easy to forgive.
Darling wait for it's not too late
Give our love a chance to live.
I know the heartaches you've been through
I know for I've had heartaches too
There's nothing more I can do
But say to you "I'm sorry".

There's nothing more I can do
But say to you "I'm sorry".
