Forgiveness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't mean to be a sinner, but you bring it out of me
Don't mean to hold you close, but I can't let you leave
Don't mean to make you wonder if I'm all you ever need
Don't mean to look so pretty, see you looking at me
Don't mean to brush your shoulder as you walk on by
Don't mean to know exactly how you feel inside
Don't mean to leave the party, can you give me a ride?
You make me beg for forgiveness
You make me beg for forgiveness
I just can't stay in your presence
Without making bad decisions
I don't mean to call you up when it's a quarter to 3
Don't mean to stay up thinking 'bout you touching on me
Don't mean to text your number, hope that she don't see
Don't mean to tease you, baby, I'm not trying to tease
Don't mean to ask you over, make you drink all the wine
Don't mean to be so friendly, make you lose your mind
What I want is something more than just a friend can provide
Yeah, I mean it
You make me beg for forgiveness
You make me beg for forgiveness
I just can't stay in your presence
Without making bad decisions
You make me beg for forgiveness
You make me beg for forgiveness
I just can't stay in your presence
Without making bad decisions
You make me beg for forgiveness
You make me beg for forgiveness
I just can't stay in your presence
Without making bad decisions
