[Intro]
 Yeah, like I was saying
 I ain't, ya know what
 I'm not tryin' to say things to hurt you
 You know what I'm saying
 I don't wanna hurt you, baby
 Just sometimes you do things 
 That push me to say things I don't wanna say
 You know what I'm saying?
 You know I love you
 You know I care about you
 This time, you  just brought it on yourself
 Yo, check it out
 
 Now I shoulda been more man
 About the way things went down
 Especially since we been dealin' 
 For like seven years now
 I've been slowly, slowly bringing you down
 No conversation, no good sex in a while
 But still you search and find a way
 To love me somehow
 Even though I ride, you still trust me somehow
 Got my faces, some ice and a tie
 Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly goin' down
 
 (I don't mean it) When I hollar at you 
 (I don't mean it) When I say that we're through 
 (I don't mean it) What I'm takin' you through 
 (I don't mean it) Baby 
 (I don't mean it) Said I'm sorry 
 (I don't mean it) Can you find a way to forgive me
 (I don't mean it) Said I went to church this morning 
 (I don't mean it) I don't mean it
 
 Running around here talking about 
 How I'm a big player now
 Hidden in corners, blinging out our share
 Kelly makin' hits now
 Thinking about this industry 
 And how I put it out
 You were there for me 
 When I used dish rags for ties
 There's times that I didn't hear you
 I was talkin' too loud
 When I didn't come home
 I was hanging with the crowd
 Whenever we fight I try to win every round
 Can you find a way to forgive me now
 
 (I don't mean it) Cuz I don't mean it
 (I don't mean it) When I hollar at you
 (I don't mean it) Whenever I say we're through
 (I don't mean it) Whoa
 (I don't mean it) Can you find a way to forgive
 (I don't mean it) Ooh baby, I
 (I don't mean it) I went to church this mornin'
 (I don't mean it) Ooh I don't mean it
 
 [R.]	Father, can you help me?
 [Priest]What do you need from me?
 [R.]	I broke up with my girl and I'm feelin' kinda lonely
 [Priest]I been watching you from Heaven, Kelly
 	You been so demanding
 	You need to read my word, son
 	And get some understanding
 [R.]	But I been busy with my music
 [Priest]Stop making excuses
 	Recognize the love she gives
 	And try not to abuse it
 [R.]	Is it too late to get her back?
 [Priest]Not as long as I'm a fact
 [R.]	Well father, show me a sign
 	That will make her mine
 
 (I don't mean it) I don't mean it
 (I don't mean it) Whenever I say we're through
 (I don't mean it) Or whenever I hollar at you
 (I don't mean it) Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
 (I don't mean it) Ooh baby, ooh baby
 (I don't mean it) See what was straight is now stone
 (I don't mean it) Because I took you for granted, oh
 (I don't mean it) Whoa
 (I don't mean it) Whoa you should know I don't mean it
 (I don't mean it) I put it on my life
 (I don't mean it) Believe me I pay the price
 (I don't mean it) When I was down and out
 (I don't mean it) You reached out your hand
 (I don't mean it) I've learned it takes a good woman
 (I don't mean it) To raise a man
 (I don't mean it) Oh, I love you baby
 (I don't mean it) Oh oh oh I love you baby
