Lyrics

There’s a light shinin’ on you
And baby, I’m tremblin’ inside
Loved no woman that I barely knew
I must’ve been out of my mind
Oh, I
I’ll never hurt you again, baby
Girl, I
I know you deserve a better man, baby
Ooh, I
I was a fool to ever let you down
So why would you stay, babe?
Woman, I beg your forgiveness
And I’ll do whatever it takes
And may the Lord be my witness
Honey, I never meant to treat you this way
Sugar, your heart has been broken
But I could still see true love shine in your eyes
When every word has been spoken
Woman, I’ll love you for the rest of my life
Oh, I
I'll never hurt you again
Never hurt you again
Girl, I
I know you deserve a better man
You deserve a better man
Girl, I, girl, I
I was a fool to ever let
Was a fool to ever let you down
But I want you stay
Baby
Don’t know why, why you would stay
Baby, hey girl
You’re my baby
Hey, girl
Yeah, yeah
I
I'll never hurt you again
Come on, girl, yeah
I know you deserve a better man
You deserve a better man
Girl, I, girl, I
I was a fool to ever let
Was a fool to ever let you down
But I want you to stay
I
I'll never hurt you again
Hey girl, come on, baby
I know you deserve a better man
You deserve a better man
Girl, I, girl, I
I was a fool to ever let
Was a fool to ever let you down
But I want you
I want you to stay
