Apologize

Your love's never been better

So good it's a sin

But it's time for a decision

Is it me or him?

Before you make your mind up, hear me

I just want you to see things clearly

This should be about love, not money

Don't let him try to take you from me

I don't wanna have to apologize

I don't wanna feel I've been penalized

Just 'cause I can drive in a better car

Live in a bigger house just like a superstar

He says that I can only give you

Material things, but that's not true

You see my heart is rich with love for you

Don't let him make you doubt my love for you

Yeah, baby

I work hard for my money

No one gave it to me

But some fools think the deeper the pocket

The smaller the heart will be, not true

I'm only trying to share me with you

Look at all the loving we do

Find the meaning in the words I'm saying

I'm not just another player playing

I don't wanna have to apologize (or give a damn)

And I don't appreciate being criticized (for who I am)

Just 'cause I can buy you a lotta things

Or take you anyplace

That's just what money brings

He wants you to believe that I'm trying to buy your love

Cause that's what he would do

He thinks since he's a man with nothing

That he's got better love for you

No way

Tell him now, let him go

Or I can no longer be yours

Tell him how you feel about me

I can't keep standing on the side

Don't let him fill your mind with lies about me

Leave him with his fallacies

I don't care what bull he believes

Tell him that enough is enough

Just don't return a disbeliever

You've always been a willing receiver of my love

I don't think I have to apologize (I work for this)

I don't wanna feel like I'm penalized (for being rich)

Doesn't bother me where he thinks I stand

I'm being my true self

Just doing what I can

He thinks I won you with materiality

But honey, you know that's not so

And even if he understood me

It's simply time for him to go so let him go

I don't wanna change you

'Cause I'm in love with who you are

So I don't wanna apologize for being a superstar

Haven't I proved that I'm here for you?

What am I guilty of?

What did or didn't I do?

Maybe I can't be myself with somebody

Who believes such things are true

I'm losing self respect from trying

I'm losing my desire too I can't do it

I don't wanna have to apologize (or give a damn)

I don't wanna feel I've been penalized (for who I am)

Just 'cause I can buy you a lotta things

Or take you anyplace

That's just what money brings

He wants you to believe that I'm trying to buy your love

'Cause that's what he would do
