Sick of Saying Sorry

I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY

I’M SICK OF SAYIN SORRY

OH, CAN YOU FORGIVE ME FOR SUCKING THE AIR I BREATH?

I WANT YOU TO LIKE ME, SO I’M APOLOGIZING

BEEN FILLED WITH REGRET SO YOU’LL NEVER BE THREATENED BY ME.

I’M SORRY…OH, OH, OH

NO MORE!!

 

TO THE MAN

TO THE MAN

CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND?

WHY YOU DEALT ALL THE CARDS

AND LEFT ME WITH THIS HAND

 

YOU’LL LET ME WORK AS LONG AS IT IS FOR YOU (FOR YOU)

YOU’LL LET ME TALK AS LONG AS I ADORE YOU ( ADORE YOU)

BUT NOW IT’S TIME TO HEAR THE TRUTH

 

I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY

I’M SICK OF SAYING SORRY

I BEGGED FOR THE PARDON

YOU NEEDED MORE THAN ME

 

I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY

WON’T YOU TRY ON SAYING SORRY?

IS IT LIFTING? RESTRICTING?

DOES IT LEAVE YOU FEELIN’ WEAK?

RAISED US GIRLS TO RAISE OUR HANDS

BUT NOT OUR VOICES OR DEMANDS

WHAT’S THE DEAL, AM I TOO SHRILL?

YOU’D RATHER SEE MY KINDNESS KILL?

 

AIN’T NO EXPERT BUT WE TEND TO QUALIFY IT (MMM-HMMM)

PADDING ALL OUR POINTS SO YOU WILL BUY IT (BUY IT)

SLOWED MYSELF DOWN TO KEEP THE PACE WITH YOU

I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY

JUST ONE QUESTION

I’M SO SORRY

WHY ARE WOMEN MORE AT RISK FOR RAPE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THAN CANCER, CAR WRECKS & MALARIA?

 

I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY

CAUSE I’M NOT REALLY SORRY

BEEN SITTING SO PRETTY

NOW IT’S TIME TO TAKE A STAND

 

I JUST ASSUME MY IMPOSITION

NOW I FEEL I NEED PERMISSION

FOR THIS POWERFUL POSITION

EARNED UNEQUIVOCALLY

 

LET’S START NEGOTIATION

GET OUR STEPS IN SYNCOPATION

SOMEONE PLEASE BRING UP MENSTRUATION

IS THAT BLUSHING I SEE?

 

SAY YA, SAY YA SORRY

SAY YA, SAY YA SORRY

SAY YA, SAY YA SORRY

SAY IT.

 

SAY YA, SAY YA SORRY

SAY YA, SAY YA SORRY

SAY YA, SAY YA SORRY

SAY IT.

 

I TRIED TO BE RESPECTFUL

I TRIED TO BE KIND

AND IT GOT ME ALL THIS WAY

YEAH, WAY FAR BEHIND

SO AFRAID TO BE RUDE

SUCH AN IMPULSE TO SMOOTH

OUT THE MESS THAT YOU MAKE.

SORRY, YOU’RE IN MY WAY!

 

I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY

I’M SICK OF SAYING SORRY

I BEGGED FOR A PARDON

YOU NEEDED MORE THAN ME

 

I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY

JUST ONE QUESTION …. I’M SO SORRY

WHY DO I FEEL THE NEED TO BE POLITE WHEN YOU’RE THE ONE THAT’S BEIN’ RUDE?

 

AND NOW THAT I’VE GOT THE FLOOR, JUST 3 OR 4 MORE QUESTIONS

 

WHY IS THE WARTIME DEATH TOLL UNSURPASSED, BY THE U.S. FEMALE FIGHTERS THAT GET SEXUALLY HARASSED?

 

AND 60 MILLION GIRLS DENIED AN EDUCATION, BUT 100 MILLION MORE, THEY UNDERGO CASTRATION?

 

AND THEY AREN’T ALOUD TO DRIVE,

AND THEY BARELY STAY ALIVE

WITH A WAGE 30% BELOW THE AVERAGE WORKING GUY

 SO WE CRY MORE AND WE WHINE MORE AND YOU REALLY WONDER WHY?

 

I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY

WON’T YOU TRY ON SAYING SORRY?

IS IT LIFTING? RESTRICTING?

DOES IT LEAVE YOU FEELIN WEAK?

 

I’M DONE SAYING SORRY

CAUSE I’M NOT REALLY SORRY

BEEN SITTING SO PRETTY

NOW IT’S TIME TO TAKE A STAND
