Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm truly sorry, baby
For what I did to you
While you were busy lovin' me
I was busy too
Oh, I played you dirty, boy
Did some things I shouldn't do
While you were only tryin' to treat me good
I was playin' (Damn)
[Chorus]
I can't even begin to explain
I'm sorry, sorry, baby
I can't even begin to explain
Mmm, mmm
[Verse 2]
I'm truly sorry, boy
Believe me, I had my turn
The next time love came along, yeah
It was me who burned
Sad and desperate, I cried
Wondering why, asking God why
He would do this to me so damn easy
But karma's real, and now I really do understand
What you give is what you get, universal plan
Paid my price and looked at my life, and
Finally I'm lovin' somebody righteously
[Chorus]
And I can't even begin to explain
Oh, how good it is
I can't even begin to explain
Oh, baby
[Bridge]
What goes around really do, really does come back around
And I'm sorry for what I did to you
You didn't deserve what I gave you, but I gave it to you
I hope you're okay, I hope you're loving well
Baby, just because you loved and lost don't mean stop loving
If you have a nightmare, doesn't mean you stop dreaming
Don't give up on love because what I did to you
I hope you're okay, I really do
[Chorus]
I can't even begin to explain
Oh, give love a try, baby
I can't even begin to explain
Oh, how good
I can't even begin to explain
