My lady, my lady listen

But now I wanna do the right thing for you, lady

I've gotta get you back some how some way

Please come home

For so damn long girl

'Cause baby I wanna do right

Time goes by we grow apart

But now I've had a change of heart

Please believe me

'Cause I know the truth is standing right in, in my face

For so damn long girl

Girl can't you take me back

Baby baby, please

If you don't take me back

I'll understand

Yes I will, yes I will

It's only my fault 'cause I was not a real man

I'll do the very best I can

Oh yes, I will

Raise my hand to God

I won't, never, never, never

I would never cheat again baby
