I'm Sorry
I held my mother’s hand as I crossed the street.
I colored in my coloring book.
I never spoke a word til spoken to.
I never hurt a fly.
I was the kind who wasn’t open to making mudpies.
So I’m sorry that I asked you to marry me.
I’m so sorry but the impulse was strong.
I’m sorry that I asked you and I’m sorry that I kissed you.
Now I know I was wrong.
I saw your freckled face and I fell in love.
Love looked a lot like Huckleberry Finn.
Love had me running round in circles and singing it in the choir.
I dreamed of raising baby turtles when we retire.
So I’m sorry that I asked you to marry me.
I’m so sorry but the impulse was strong.
I’m sorry for the ring pop and I’m sorry that I chased you.
Now I know I was wrong.
Da da da da da da da da da da da.
Da da da da da da.
Da da da da da da da da da da da.
I learned to count. I learned how to tie my shoe.
I learned that love is better when it’s true.
I try to make things picture perfect.
I try not to make mistakes.
Somehow my cheeks are always burning with one more heartbreak
One more heartache.
So I’m sorry that I asked you to marry me.
I’m so sorry but the impulse was strong.
I’m not sorry that I loved you.
But I’m sorry that I told you.
Now I know, now I know, now I know
I was wrong.
Da da da da da da da da da da da.
