Baby, did I ever make you a promise
And I got so busy that it slipped my mind?
These things happen, you know
I'm askin' you to forgive me
I'm so sorry and I apologize, oh yeah
'Cause I know to a woman
Her man promises keeps her goin'
Yes they do

I've got to do a little bit
Better than I've been doing

Baby, did you ever need me to hold you
And I was somewhere else at the time
Just foolin' around?
Then I'm asking you to forgive me
I'm so sorry and I apologize, oh yeah
'Cause I know to a woman
Her man love keeps her going, yеs it does

So I've got to do a little
Bit bеtter than I've been doing

A man gets so busy trying
To make his little ends meet
That he forgets some of
The promises he's made, oh yeah
But when a man's got himself a woman
That's so sweet and understanding
You know that man has got
It made in the shade

Baby, were there ever time you were crying
And I wasn't there to dry your eyes?
Ooh, I'm asking you to forgive me
I'm so sorry and I apologize, oh yes I am
'Cause I know to a woman
Her man's attentions keeps her goin'

So I've got to do a little
Bit better than I've been doing
