I'm Sorry
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.
Momma, I'm sorry
You know I never meant to hurt you, no
But I'm in love with the boy next door
(Momma, please understand)
And momma, I'm so sorry
But I don't think that I can let him go
I'm in love with the boy next door
Starring at your picture, my vision is blur
My eyes are feeling petite with every word
They're trying to tell me, I'm only a kid and that I
Can't be in love, I don't know what it is
And they keep trying to convince me
That you ain't no good for me
(You're to young to know, baby, just let it go)
And they just won't accept what we are
And what we can be
(So this letter reads)
Momma, please understand
Momma, I'm sorry
You know I never meant to hurt you, no
But I'm in love with the boy next door
(Momma, please understand)
And momma, I'm so sorry
But I don't think that I can let him go
I'm in love with the boy next door
(Momma, please understand)
And I know that she thinks that I'm young and naive
Don't know what's good for me, think of your future
She says with tears in her eyes
(Don't throw away your dreams)
About loving some guy
Momma please, have more faith in me
You didn't raise a fool, I'm gonna stay by your side
Though I know you don't want me to
So this letter reads
Momma, please understand
Momma, I'm sorry
You know I never meant to hurt you, no
But I'm in love with the boy next door
(Momma, please understand)
And momma, I'm so sorry
But I don't think that I can let him go
I'm in love with the boy next door
(Momma, please understand)
Nothing I can say to make you feel the way you feel
But finally I found the love that I know is real, really real (Ohh...)
And I ain't gonna give it up, not for nothing
I ain't gonna give it up, no...
So momma won't you please understand the way I feel
Momma, please understand
Momma, I'm sorry
You know I never meant to hurt you, no
But I'm in love with the boy next door
(Momma, please understand)
And momma, I'm so sorry
But I don't think that I can let him go
I'm in love with the boy next door
(Momma, please understand)
