Song lyrics I mean I don't mean it by R Kelly

[Intro]
Yeah, like I was saying
I ainīt, ya know what
Iīm not tryinī to say things to hurt you
You know what Iīm saying
I donīt wanna hurt you, baby
Just sometimes you do things
That push me to say things I donīt wanna say
You know what Iīm saying?
You know I love you
You know I care about you
This time, you just brought it on yourself
Yo, check it out

Now I shoulda been more man
About the way things went down
Especially since we been dealinī
For like seven years now
Iīve been slowly, slowly bringing you down
No conversation, no good sex in a while
But still you search and find a way
To love me somehow
Even though I ride, you still trust me somehow
Got my faces, some ice and a tie
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly goinī down

(I donīt mean it) When I hollar at you
(I donīt mean it) When I say that weīre through
(I donīt mean it) What Iīm takinī you through
(I donīt mean it) Baby
(I donīt mean it) Said Iīm sorry
(I donīt mean it) Can you find a way to forgive me
(I donīt mean it) Said I went to church this morning
(I donīt mean it) I donīt mean it

Running around here talking about
How Iīm a big player now
Hidden in corners, blinging out our share
Kelly makinī hits now
Thinking about this industry
And how I put it out
You were there for me
When I used dish rags for ties
Thereīs times that I didnīt hear you
I was talkinī too loud
When I didnīt come home
I was hanging with the crowd
Whenever we fight I try to win every round
Can you find a way to forgive me now

(I donīt mean it) Cuz I donīt mean it
(I donīt mean it) When I hollar at you
(I donīt mean it) Whenever I say weīre through
(I donīt mean it) Whoa
(I donīt mean it) Can you find a way to forgive
(I donīt mean it) Ooh baby, I
(I donīt mean it) I went to church this morninī
(I donīt mean it) Ooh I donīt mean it

[R.] Father, can you help me?
[Priest]What do you need from me?
[R.] I broke up with my girl and Iīm feelinī kinda lonely
[Priest]I been watching you from Heaven, Kelly
You been so demanding
You need to read my word, son
And get some understanding
[R.] But I been busy with my music
[Priest]Stop making excuses
Recognize the love she gives
And try not to abuse it
[R.] Is it too late to get her back?
[Priest]Not as long as Iīm a fact
[R.] Well father, show me a sign
That will make her mine

(I donīt mean it) I donīt mean it
(I donīt mean it) Whenever I say weīre through
(I donīt mean it) Or whenever I hollar at you
(I donīt mean it) Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(I donīt mean it) Ooh baby, ooh baby
(I donīt mean it) See what was straight is now stone
(I donīt mean it) Because I took you for granted, oh
(I donīt mean it) Whoa
(I donīt mean it) Whoa you should know I donīt mean it
(I donīt mean it) I put it on my life
(I donīt mean it) Believe me I pay the price
(I donīt mean it) When I was down and out
(I donīt mean it) You reached out your hand
(I donīt mean it) Iīve learned it takes a good woman
(I donīt mean it) To raise a man
(I donīt mean it) Oh, I love you baby
(I donīt mean it) Oh oh oh I love you baby
