It Ain't Me
Willy William Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our bond is getting loose when it used to be tight

The love we had together is turning to despite

What do I have to do, I don’t want to fight

I did you wrong but now let me make it right


I can’t even hold you or say I love you enough

You claim my arrogant ways are getting too rough

What do I have to do, I don’t want to fight

I did you wrong but now let me make it right



There is no reason or no excuse

For giving you plenty of grief and a lot of abuse

I will stop mistreating you and never will neglect

You will have my total concentration and complete respect



I was tired of familiar and looking for strange

I thought the mind and the heart could change

What do I have to do, I don’t want to fight

I did you wrong but now let me make it

right



You’re screaming at me to go, but baby please let me stay

I’ll give you hugs and kisses plus a gift every holiday

What do I have to do, I don’t want to fight

I did you wrong but now let me make it right

I did you wrong but now let me make it right

I did you wrong but now let me make it right





I did you wrong but now let me make it right
