Operator, get my baby on the line
Just the other night
We had a horrible fight
I admit that I
I was out of control
But I still love my man
With my body and soul

When the road gets rough
You say things you should not say
I never meant to treat my baby that way

I apologize (believe me, I do)
Oh, believe me I do
I apologize (honest and true)
Oh, honest and true
Because I know I was wrong (I was wrong)
So I sing you this song (I sing you this song)
And I'm tryin' to get through
To make it up to you, yeah

Operator, it was like a bad dream
Lord, you should have heard
The way he shouted and the way that I screamed
I regret it 'cause I was unfair
I took it all out on him
Just because he was there

When the road gets rough
You say things you should not say
I never meant to treat my daddy that way

I apologize (believe me, I do)
Oh, believe me I do
I apologize (honest and true)
Oh, honest and true
Because I know I was wrong (I was wrong)
So I sing you this song (I sing you this song)
And I'm gonna get through you
And make it up to you

I apologize, for I was unkind
And I wish that I could go back in time
Erase our goodbyes and rewrite my life
But come rain or come shine
I'm gonna do it right this time

I apologize (believe me, I do)
I, I, I, oh baby, I do (honest and true)
Because I know I was wrong (I was wrong)
So I sing you my, my, my song, yeah (I sing you this song)

I apologize (believe me, I do)
I apologize (honest and true)
Because I know I was wrong (I was wrong)
So I sing you this song (I sing you this song)
And I wanna get, I gotta get
I need to get through to you, yeah, yeah (believe me, I do)
Oh, listen, oh, baby (honest and true)
I'm talkin' to you right now
Oh, I'm talkin' to you (I was wrong)
Oh, I was wrong, baby (I sing you this song)
Listen to me right now
Singin' it to you right now, I was wrong

(Believe me I do)
(Honest and true)
(I was wrong, I sing you this song)
(Believe me I do)
(Honest and true)
(I was wrong, I sing you this song)
