I don't mean to hurt you, baby and i'm sorry if i do
I don't really mean to hurt you, woman, and i'm sorry if i do
Why should i make myself miserable baby
Baby, you know i'm human too
Oh, please don't hate me
Because i know we just don't belong
Oh baby, please don't hate me
I know we just don't belong
I found me someone who wants me
Baby, won't you please set me free
I have to admit you've been an angel, baby
And i'm grateful for the wife you've been
Oh, i have to admit you've been an angel, baby
And i'm grateful for the wife you've been
Oh, but now my heart belongs to another
So to hold me baby, is really a sin
I want you to try to forgive me
Babe and please try to understand
I want you to please, please forgive me baby
Babe and please try to understand
You know i didn't make myself, woman
And it's not my fault there's somebody else
