Can’t Explain (42nd Street Happenstance)

[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)

[Hook]
I can't even begin to explain
I'm sorry, sorry, baby
I can't even begin to explain
Ooh, mmm

[Verse 2]
I'm truly sorry, boy, believe me, I had my turn
The next time love came along, 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

[Hook]
And I can't even begin to explain
Oh I've gotta live
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 ok, 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 ok, I really do

[Hook]
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
