"I'm Sorry" lyrics

It's been a while since I've seen her
And there's things I wanna say to her
But if you happen to see her before I do
Please, please tell her I'm sorry

I had a habit of runnin' you off
Stayin' out drinkin' 'til the money ran out
Never once did I take you nowhere
And you would stand out with no make-up and combin' your hair

My friends tried to tell me, stop foolin' around
That they saw you cryin' on the other side of town (crying)
But never once did I take the time out to see
Oh, what you needed from me

If you see her
Please, tell her I'm sorry
(Yeah, oh) If you see her
Please tell her, tell her I'm sorry
Sorry

I used to spend time with all my friends (well, well, well)
And ignorin' the things that you said to me then (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That the baby needed shoes and you needed a break (my, my, my)
And you'd had about all that you could take, yeah

Lord, without this woman, I'm half the man I'll ever be
And if you see her, do this one thing for me

If you see her
Lord knows, if you see her
Tell her I'm sorry
Tell her, tell her
If you see her
Please, tell her I'm sorry
That's about all I can do

If you see her
Please somebody, if you see her (tell her I'm sorry)
Tell her that I'm sorry (sorry)
If you see her
Please, (I'm gonna love her) tell her I'm sorry
