Denied, denied

Denied, denied

Oh, baby, baby, baby

Ooh, uh-huh (Sorry ain't enough, but I told a lie)

Hey, boy, can I explain?

It was more than just a physical thing

I should've told you

Right from the start, oh

My life with a man who holds the key to my heart (Denied, denied)

'Cause, baby, it's him I really love

But, right now, it's you I'm thinkin' of

Denied (Denied, denied)

Now that we've had our fun, goodbye (Denied, denied)

Denied (Denied, denied)

I'm so sorry I lied (Sorry ain't enough, but I told a lie)

Can we, baby, can we talk for a while?

I just can't walk out, baby

It's not my style

When ya kissed me

Why didn't I just say, "no"?

Now your time is up, boy

And you've got to go (Denied, denied)

'Cause, baby, it's him I really love

But, right now, right now, it's you I'm thinkin' of

Denied (Denied, denied, denied)

Now that we've had our fun, goodbye (Denied, denied)

Denied (Denied, denied)

I'm so sorry I lied (Sorry ain't enough, but I told a lie)

God knows, God knows I tried

But it hurts so bad, boy

I just had to cry

I never thought it could be like this

But, boy, you better believe

You're gonna be missed, oh

'Cause, baby, it's him I really love

But, right now, right now, it's you I'm thinkin' of

Denied (Denied, yeah, denied, denied)

Now that we've had our fun, goodbye (Denied, denied)

Denied (Denied, denied, denied, denied, denied)

I'm so sorry I lied (So sorry, baby, sorry ain't enough, but I told a lie)

You know, I'm sorry, baby (Denied, denied)

But that's all I can really say (Denied)

Mm-mm-mm-mm

Doesn't this seem to always happen the other way around? (Sorry ain't enough, but I told a lie)

Hm, I thought so (Denied, denied, denied)

Sorry, baby

Denied

I didn't mean to hurt you, baby (Denied, denied)

I never meant to make you cry (Denied, denied)

Denied

Oh, I'm so sorry (Denied, denied)

Oh, I'm so sorry (Denied, denied, sorry ain't enough, but I told a lie)
