R KELLY LYRICS - I Don't Mean It

"I Don't Mean It"



Baby, oh baby

I know we had an argument and all

Ooh babe

And I must have said some pretty foul shit but

Mmm, mmm

I just want you to know that I ain't mean none of that

Baby, baby

None of it



Now I was supposed to be a man about it

Shoulda never left your side

No way, no how

Put too many years in this relationship

And it's not that serious for us to split

Now I admit sometimes I make mistakes

But still I appreciate the love we make

Stop at the door and put your bags back down

Now baby please can we work this out



Now I might say you can walk

(But I don't mean it)

And I might name call

(I don't mean it)

I may pull some silly stunts

(Uhm mmm)

But that's just a front, I don't mean it

(Now wait a minute hear me out)

Now I may holler at you

(I don't mean it)

And I may tell you we're through

(But I don't mean it, no, no)

May give you looks that can kill

(Can kill)

But it's not for real

(Not for real)

I don't mean it

(I don't mean it hey)



Now I was supposed to be more understanding

Instead of tryin to be so damn demandin

Baby I'm willing to drop my ego

And do the things I should have done and more

See I know that I can be a better man

Girl all you gotta do is take my hand

Promise me this time

I'm goin all the way

And show you all the reasons why you stayed



Now I might say you can walk

(But I don't mean it, no, no)

And I might name call

(Girl I don't mean it)

I may pull some silly stunts

(Ooh yeah)

But that's just a front, I don't mean it

(Listen baby)

Now I may holler at you

(But I don't mean it)

And I may tell you we're through

(Girl you should know, I don't mean it)

May give you looks that can kill

(Um mmm)

But it's not for real

I don't mean it

(Come here girl)



See I never meant

To break you down

And make you cry, make you cry

Oh please baby please

Turn back around

Don't you say goodbye, say goodbye

Sometimes I know that

I can take it

Just a little bit too far

But yo my heart is good

Heart is good

So baby you don't have to worry

You're gonna see a change

Girl you know I love ya

Even though I may say



Now I might say you can walk

(I don't mean it)

And I might name call

(But I don't mean it)

I may pull some silly stunts

(Hey)

But that's just a front

(Hey, hey)

I don't mean it

(I don't mean it, I don't mean it)

Now I may holler at you

(When I'm hollerin' at you)

And I may tell you we're through

(I never mean it when I say we're through)

May give you looks that can kill

(Kill)

But it's not for real

(Real)

I don't mean it

(I don't mean it)



Now I might say you can walk

(I don't mean it)

I don't mean it

But that's just a front

(Just a front)

I don't mean it

May give you looks that can kill

But it's not for real

I don't mean it
