I Don't Mean It

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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)

[Verse 2]

Now I was supposed to be more understanding

Instead of trying to be so damn demanding

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 this time I'm going all the way

And show you all the reasons why you stayed

[Chorus]

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)

[Bridge]

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…

[Chorus]

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 hollering 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)

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 hollering 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 may say that you can walk but I don't)

And I might name call

(Girl I promise I don't mean it)

I may pull some silly stunts (silly stunts)

But that's just a front (just a front)

I don't mean it

(Thinking I'm cool, but I'm a fool)

Now I may holler at you

(Caught up in my pride, you see)

And I may tell you we're through

(When I know you are my pride to be)

May give you looks that can kill

(You opened up my eyes and now I see)

But it's not for real

I don't mean it

(That I'm walking on a two-way street)

Now I might say you can walk

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

And I might name call

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

I may pull some silly stunts

(I don't mean it)

But that's just a front

(I don't mean it)

I don't mean it

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

Now I may holler at you

And I may tell you we're through

May give you looks that can kill

But it's not for real

I don't mean it
