[Verse 1:]
This is the apology song
Maybe I should call you when I'm running late
Too many times when I left you there and made you wait
It's crazy... that you still my baby... yeahh
I get home every night, and it's an argument
I really should, but I don't tell you where I've been
Cause lately I been actin' so crazy... yeahh
[Chorus:]
Sometimes it takes a lot to admit I'm wrong
That I don't wanna wake up to find you gone
A girl like you is one in a million,
And I want you to know... so here it goes...
I put on the apology song
I know that I was wrong so,
I take back every word that I said
I put on the apology song
It's been far too long
So I think it's time to put this to bed [? ]
Girl I'm sayin that I'm sorry [x4] that I did it again
When you hear the melody I hope you be forgivin me
Always end up makin you mad
[Verse 2:]
I know sometimes I'm out and it gets late at night
I say there's no reception or my battery died
It's crazy, why do I lie to my baby? Whyyy?
If you are doing the same things that I do
I don't know if I can stand bein with you
I'm gonna stop takin you for granted (I think this is the line...)
I've been doing it now for too long
[Chorus:]
Sometimes it takes a lot to admit I'm wrong
That I don't wanna wake up to find you gone
A girl like you is one in a million,
And I want you to know... so here it goes...
I put on the apology song
I know that I was wrong so,
I take back every word that I said
I put on the apology song
It's been far too long
So I think it's time to put this to bed [? ]
Girl I'm sayin that I'm sorry [x4] that I did it again
When you hear the melody I hope you be forgivin me
Always end up makin you mad
[Verse 3:]
This is the apology song...
Baby, forgive I'm just bein a man
There are so many things you don't understand
But I'm a try my best you deserve though
[Chorus:]
I put on the apology song
I know that I was wrong so,
I take back every word that I said
I put on the apology song
It's been far too long
So I think it's time to put this to bed [? ]
Girl I'm sayin that I'm sorry [x4] that I did it again
When you hear the melody I hope you be forgivin me
Always end up makin you mad
