Lyrics
V1:
Babygirl would u look me in the face I need your eyes
I've got something here to say
Lord God I pray it comes out okay
Now remember when I told u way back when
U were the only one for me,(u were the one for me and we would always be)
I need u to know right now of my infidelity
Never ever ever meant to cheat
Girl please don't walk away from me
I've got something else to say, prepare yourself
Wait a minute dont u see that I am
C:
Man Enough to say, Man enough to say
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Man Enough to say, Man enough to say
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
V2:
I know u love me, u know I love u too
Now you're saying that u want the truth
So here it goes I'll break it down just remember I warned u
It was that night we were fighting
And you, you said enough, I was frightened
I called her on the phone, she said let's talk about it
I said I don't know, should I go maybe not maybe so, I was in my weakness
Now u say that u know the way the story goes
But I want u to know that I'm sorry for
All the hurt all the shame all the pain that I brought before
C:
Man Enough to say, Man enough to say
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Man Enough to say, Man enough to say
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Bridge:
So strip the music cuz without u there's no melody
I'd rather give it all up just so u can be with me
If I can find a way to take back all the things I did
I'd risk it all to show u you're the reason why I live
I'll bring the music back so u can start to understand
That I've got everything it takes for me to be ya man
Don't give up on me give me one more chance
Babygirl dont u see that I am
C:
Man Enough to say, Man enough to say
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Man Enough to say, Man enough to say
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
