I Don'T Mean It

Baby (oh baby)
I know, we had an argument and all (ooh, baby)
And I must have said some pretty foul shit (mm)
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
Should've 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 (mm)
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 (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 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 me this time, I'm going all the way
And show you all the reasons why you stayed

Now I might say you can walk (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 (mm)
But it's not for real (ooh)
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 just 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 you
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 (hey, hey) (I might say that you can walk)
And I might name call (but 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 (but I know that you're my pride to be)
May give you looks that can kill (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)

Girl, I may holler at you
And I may tell you we're through
May give you looks
