Lyrics: R. Kelly. Apologies Of A Thug.

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you, yeah
(The apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you, baby

I'm sorry for all the times that I hurt you, lied, cheated on you
Left, committed every crime except for murder
(Oh)
But you still didn't judge me in fact you found a way to love me
(Yes)
Sometimes I really messed up and you still found a way to hug me
(Yes you did, Lord)

Layin' your hands on me, cryin', callin' out to God
(Oh my)
I want up out these streets but ma, it's so hard
(Oh yes, it is)
I'm so scarred, my monster is so large
If it wasn't bad luck, it'd be no luck for R.
(No luck for R.)

And I'm sorry baby, for bein' so connivin'
(Yeah)
Cursin' you out, arguein' in public, drinkin', drunk drivin'
(Mm)
Girl I need you to believe that I can make it better
(Make it better)
I'm in the belly of the beast but still believe in a change of weather
(Change of weather)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(Oh, I'm sorry, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Oh yeah, babe)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(Said, I'm so, so, so sorry, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Oh yeah, mm)

I'm sorry baby for stormin' out of the house
Givin' you them lame excuses just to get, out of the house
(Mm, mm, mm)
And I apologies for all of those times that I made you cry
(Yeah)

Like when you busted me up north with that girl and still took me back
(Oh yeah)
I could never forget that, all the pain and drama I caused you
Just never forget that every day and night I used to all you
(Call you, yeah)

We were best friends, we put our chips all in
(Oh)
We bet we'd never be separated by no men
(No men)
What I feel, you feel, what I go through, you go through
(You go through)

That's why I have no right to hurt you
(Hurt you)
And even when I was goin' through all that bullshit in the media
(Mm)
Girl it was you who made it easier, which is why I write this piece to ya
(Oh)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(Said, I'm so sorry baby, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Oh yeah, yeah)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(So, so, so sorry, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Oh, to you, I'm sorry)

Now I'm sorry for all of the times that I didn't take you out
(Mm)
Walk the park, holdin' hands or family cook outs
(Oh)

We were headed same direction till I chose my own route
(Yeah)
When knowin' my life's a dead end without ya, no doubt
(Mm, mm)

I wanna be that man inside for you that's so great
(Oh yeah)
Now I may not go to church every Sunday but I always pray
(Oh, oh)

'Cause in the midst of this fame my life is like a buffet
(Yeah)
Quick to drink, quick to smoke, quick to fornicate
(Quick to fornicate, ooh)

But you don' been beside me just like my shadow
(Ooh)
Playin' warriors standin' on the front line ready to fight battles
(Ooh)

I cannot ask for more in a woman
(Oh, oh)
What I need to do is pour back into my woman from now on
(Oh girl)
I'm sorry

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(Oh, sorry, all the things I've done to you, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Oh yeah, all of the pain I've caused you)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(Whoa, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Yes, I am, brung to you)

Baby I apologies
Never meant to make you cry
Can you find it in your heart
Somewhere girl to take me back

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(Oh yeah, said, I'm sorry, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Mm, that I ever brung to you)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(I'm sorry, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Baby, I ever brung to you, yeah)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(Said, I'll never hurt you again, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(Oh, oh you just let me back in)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(I'll never ever break your heart oh, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
(I'll never, never ever break your heart oh)

Said, I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
(Said I'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never)
(Never, never ever break your heart, the apologies of a thug)
Said, I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
