[Spoken Intro: Michael Bivins]
I'm sorry, baby
I didn't mean to do what I did
I mean, it just happened so fast, you know?
I woke up out of the situation
And I was like, "Mike, you don't even need to go out like this."
And that's why I'm calling you, you know?
Just listen to me
[Chorus: New Edition]
Hear me out, girl
Hear me out, girl
My apologies for breaking your heart
Hear me out, girl
Hear me out, girl
My apologies for breaking your heart
[Verse 1: Ricky Bell]
Ooh, at home all alone, thinking to myself
What a fool I was for letting you go (letting you go)
If I could rewind the hands of time
I'd take back every word that made you cry (don't cry)
[Pre-Chorus: Johnny Gill + (Bobby Brown) + New Edition]
I know I acted kind of crazy (I know I acted kind of crazy)
I need you now to understand me (Please understand me)
[Chorus: New Edition]
Hear me out, girl
Hear me out, girl
My apologies for breaking your heart
Hear me out, girl
Hear me out, girl
My apologies for breaking your heart
(Come here, baby...a little closer...let me talk to you)
[Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant]
Well, now is the time for us to realize
How much we mean to each other, girl (mean to each other, girl)
Just don't walk away, that's much too easy
I'm begging you, begging you to stay (stay)
[Pre-Chorus: Johhny + (New Edition)]
I know I acted kind of crazy (I know I acted kind of crazy)
I need you now to understand me (please understand me)
[Outro: New Edition & (Johnny ad-libs)]
Hear me out, girl
(Ho, ho, oh, oh)
Hear me out, girl
My apologies for breaking your heart
(You know I'll get down on my knees, I'm sorry)
Hear me out, girl
(Oh, ho, oh, ho, I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart)
Hear me out, girl
My apologies for breaking your heart
(Oh, ho, oh, ho, I'll cry for you, I'm begging you)
Hear me out, girl
Hear me out, girl
My apologies for breaking your heart
(I apologize, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, oh)
Hear me out, girl
(Hear me, baby; hear me, baby)
Hear me out, girl
(My pour little heart is crying out, oh oh)
My apologies for breaking your heart
(I'm so sorry, baby, for breaking your heart, oh oh, yeah)
