written by Babyface (1993)



I never meant to lie to you

But I needed me an easy way out

I couldn't face the truth with you

Because I didn't want to lose my clout

I always have been good to you

Girl I promise you that nothing has changed

Momentary insanity

Must be the reason why I did you that way



So now I'm telling everybody

That I know I was a fool

To take a chance of losing

And girl I can't take losing you



So I'm

Never keeping secrets

And I'm never telling lies

I wanna make it up to you

No I'm

Never keeping secrets

Girl I swear it's all behind

I only wanna be with you



I didn't want to lie to you

But I didn't want to let you down

It never did occur to me

Sooner or later that you would find out

You know how much I care for you

And I would never want to cause you pain

I know that there is no excuse

How could I ever treat my baby that way



That's why I'm telling everybody

That I know I was a fool

But I don't give a damn about it

'Cause I wanna get back wit you



HOOK



If you wanna go

I want you to know

Girl that I understand it

But I don't recommened it

'Cause I love you more

I know you can't ignore

That I will die for you

And lay down my life for you

Girl I wanna see

You standing next to me

Girl I apologize

For each and every lie

I want you to be

The only one for me

Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever



HOOK
