I Mean

Yeah, I mean,

I'm not trying to hurt you baby, I don't wanna hurt you.

It's just sometimes you do things that make me say things

that I don't wanna say, you know what I'm saying?

You know I love you. You know I care about you.

This time you just brought it on yourself.

Check it out.

Now I shoulda been more man about the way things went down

Specially since we been dealing for like seven years now

I been slowly, slowly bringing you down

No conversation, no good sex in awhile

But still you search and find a way to love me somehow

Even though I lie you still trust me somehow

Got my face in some ice in a towel

Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly going down

I don't mean it （when I holler at you）

I don't mean it （when I say that we're through）

I don't mean it （when I'm taking you through）

I don't mean it （baby, I）

I don't mean it （said I'm sorry）

I don't mean it （can you find a way to forgive me?）

I don't mean it （said I went to church this morning）

I don't mean it （and I don't mean it）

Walking around here talking about how I'm a big playa now

Hittin them corners, blinging that ice, yeah Kelly makin hits now

Thinking about this industry and how I put it down

You were there for me when I used dishrags for towels

Them times when I didn't hear you I was talking too loud

When I didn't come home I was hanging with the crowd

Whenever we fight I try to win every round

Can you find a way to forgive me now?

I don't mean it （when I holler at you）

I don't mean it （when I say that we're through）

I don't mean it （when I'm taking you through）

I don't mean it （baby, I）

I don't mean it （said I'm sorry）

I don't mean it （can you find a way to forgive me?）

I don't mean it （said I went to church this morning）

I don't mean it （and I don't mean it）

Kelly: Father can you help me?

God: What do you need from me?

Kelly: I broke up w/ my girl and now I'm feeling kinda lonely.

God: I been watching you from heaven Kelly, you been so demanding.

It's time you read my Word, son, and get some understanding.

Kelly: But I been busy w/ my music.

God: Stop making excuses. Recognize the love she gives

and try not to abuse it.

Kelly: Is it too late to get her back?

God: Not as long as I'm a fact.

Kelly: Then Father, show me sign to let me know she's mine

I don't mean it （when I holler at you）

I don't mean it （when I say that we're through）

I don't mean it （when I'm taking you through）

I don't mean it （baby, I）

I don't mean it （said I'm sorry）

I don't mean it （can you find a way to forgive me?）

I don't mean it （said I went to church this morning）

I don't mean it （and I don't mean it）

I don't mean it

I don't mean it

I don't mean it

I don't mean it

I don't mean it

I don't mean it

I don't mean it

I don't mean it

I don't mean it

I don't mean it
