[Babyface:]

Here we go

Damn

Here we again

Loving you has caused me so much pain

But you don't see it, you never see it

[Toni:]

So why apologize

I was just doing what I had to do baby

An eye for an eye

[Both:]

God knows I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe

God knows I never meant to turn you out, turn you out

Never meant to take it that far, that far babe

God knows I never meant to hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you

[Babyface:]

Baby, guilty as charged

I'm not gon lie babe

I did you wrong so many times yes

So I know why you crossed the line

Oh but girl I never dreamed you'd cheat on me

[Toni:]

But I, I apologize (don't apologize, don't apologize)

Oh baby, the pain I put you through (put you through it too

What I did to you (I did the same to you)

Oh I made you cry

[Both:]

God knows I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe

God knows I never meant to turn you out, turn you out

Never meant to take it that far, that far babe

[X2]

God knows I never meant to hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you, hurt you

Can we start over again

Can we start baby best friends

Give you one more try

The tender kisses you give to me

Would be the only thing I'd ever need

God knows I never meant to hurt you

I never meant to break your heart, your heart babe

[Repeated and ad-libbed out]
