I Mean (I Don't Mean It)

Baby, oh baby
I know we had an arguement and all ooh babe
And I must have said some pretty foul shit but mmm, mmm
I just want you to know that I ain’t mean none of that baby, baby none of it
Now I was supposed to be a man about it
Shoulda Never left your side no way, no how
Put too many years in this relationship
And it’s not that serious for us to split
Now I admit sometimes I make mistakes
But still I appreciate the love we make
Stop at the door and put your bags back down
Now baby please can we work this out

[Chorus]
Now I may say you can walk (but i Don’t mean it)
And I might name call (I don’t mean it)
I may pull some silly stunts(uhm mmm)
But that’s just a front, I don’t mean it
(Now wait a minute hear me out)
Now I may holla at you (I don’t mean it)
And I may tell you were through (but I don’t mean it, no,no)
May give you looks that could kill (can kill)
But it’s not for real (not for real)
I don’t mean it (I don’t mean it hey)

Now I was supposed to be more understanding
Instead of trying to be so damn demanding
Baby I’m willin to drop my ego
And do the things I should have done and more
See I know that I can be a better man
Girl all you gotta do is take my hand
Promise this time I’m goin all the way
And show you all the reasons why you stayed

[Chorus]
Now I may say you can walk (but i Don’t mean it)
And I might name call (I don’t mean it)
I may pull some silly stunts(uhm mmm)
But that’s just a front, I don’t mean it
(Now wait a minute hear me out)
Now I may holla at you (I don’t mean it)
And I may tell you were through (but I don’t mean it, no,no)
May give you looks that could kill (can kill)
But it’s not for real (not for real)
I don’t mean it (I don’t mean it hey)

See I never meant to break you down and make you cry, (make you cry)
Oh please baby please turn back around don’t say goodbye (say goodbye)
Sometimes I know that I can take it just a little to far but yo my heart is good (heart is good)
So baby you don’t have to worry you’re gonna see a change
Girl you know I love ya even though

[Chorus 2x]
Now I may say you can walk (but i Don’t mean it)
And I might name call (I don’t mean it)
I may pull some silly stunts (uhm mmm)
But that’s just a front, I don’t mean it
(Now wait a minute hear me out)
Now I may holla at you (I don’t mean it)
And I may tell you were through (but I don’t mean it, no,no)
May give you looks that could kill (can kill)
But it’s not for real (not for real)
I don’t mean it (I don’t mean it hey)
