My 16th Apology

[Intro]
The things I said about you
Maybe we could work it out someday

[Verse 1]
Things were going pretty well 'til I died
On that sunny afternoon
When you broke down before my eyes
Well I got a streak of meanness (Oh yeah)
A clumsy way of speaking
And I don't know where I get it from
It must run in my family

[Chorus]
Do I have to go down on my knees?
This is my sixteenth apology to you
With friends like me who needs enemies?

[Verse 2]
I got a river inside the size of my rage
Which is really something else
When you think of my tender age
Well I got a way about me (Oh yeah)
But it's hard for me to see it (Oh yeah)
And I don't know when I'm in the wrong
Why am I so hard to please?

[Chorus]
This is my sixteenth apology to you
Do I have to go down on my knees for you? (Yeah)
With friends like me who needs enemies?

[Bridge]
The things I said about you
Were all said yesterday
I didn't mean to hurt you
Maybe we could work it out someday

[Verse 3]
Now I got a streak of meanness (Oh yeah)
A clumsy way of speaking
And I don't know when I'm in the wrong
Why am I so hard to please?

[Chorus]
Do I have to go down on my knees?
This is my sixteenth apology to you
With friends like me who needs enemies?

[Outro]
Didn't your mother ever tell you
To err is human, to forgive is divine?
Oh well, I'll see you in the next life
