I Apologize
Ruff Endz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What is he doing now? Baby, listen.

Take a look in the mirror, baby,
And I promise you, you'll see what I see.
The most beautiful thing, heaven and earth,
Both adore you, now,
So don't change the way you are,
And don't change the things you do.
All because of one man was untrue to you,
And one day, he's gonna realize,
That he gave a jewel when he gave up you.

He was wrong girl, and he knows it,
But he just won't admit it,
So for every single time that he made you cry,
I apologize, I apologize.
He was wrong girl, and he knows it,
But he just won't admit it,
So for every single time that he made you cry,
I apologize, I apologize.

I know you been through some things,
With this man, yes you did,
But I'm gonna do everything I can to make it right,
And to keep it tight,
Girl, every time he made you cry,
I apologize, baby,
Every man is not the same as your last,
But I'm begging, give me a chance.

He was wrong girl, and he knows it,
But he just won't admit it,
So for every single time that he made you cry,
I apologize, I apologize.
He was wrong girl, and he knows it,
But he just won't admit it,
So for every single time that he made you cry,
I apologize, I apologize.

First thing I'm gonna do is spoil you,
Assure you, prove to you,
That every man in the world ain't the same.
Only one should take blame,
Besides, it was him who did, hmm, you know,
So why I should I have to pay for it,
For all shit he did, things he hid,
Made it hard for you to trust again.
Then I'm gonna spend a little dough on you,
So the next time he see, you be real jiggy,
High class, looking so bad,
Better than that nigga's first and his last
Then he'll regret the day he left,
But it's too late, bitch you slept,
So I'm a pick up where you left off,
And beside, nigga's always off.

He was wrong girl, and he knows it,
But he just won't admit it,
So for every single time that he made you cry,
I apologize, I apologize.
He was wrong girl, and he knows it,
But he just won't admit it,




So for every single time that he made you cry,
I apologize, I apologize.
