I need your forgiveness
And your mercy too
I must be all kinda crazy
For what I've done to you
I hope you understand
That my heart is true
Mistakes, I've made em
But I'm making a change for you

Have I learned, that's your question
And my answer I have
But if you're expecting perfection
Then we're not gonna last
This is not an excuse
I'm just telling the truth
Baby, I'm so sorry
For hurting you

Oh, I'm ashamed of me (shame on me)
Wish I never done you wrong (shame on me)
Every night of us I dream
That I wake up in your arms

I know why you left me
But since you've been gone
My understanding
Has moved and grown
I've come to this conclusion
Over and over again
I don't want an enemy
I just want back my friend

Oh, I'm ashamed of me (shame on me)
I wish I never done you wrong (shame on me)
Every night of us I dream
That I wake up in your arms

Wish I could say sorry
Oh will you come back home
Hey, baby, yeah
I was dumb as can do it
So I wouldn't have to be alone
Yeah, hey
If I knew then what I know now
Everything would be (fine)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm so ashamed, ashamed of me (shame on me)
Said I wish I never done you wrong (shame on me)
Every night of us I dream
That I wake up in your arms

(I'm ashamed of me)
I'm ashamed of me, yeah (shame)
Im ashamed of all the lies i've told (shame)
Wish I come home wish I come home midnight (shame)
Girl I wish I never ?, oh Lord (shame)
Said I'm ashamed, (shame)
Come home babe
What I supposed to do with these kids
Baby, I'm ashamed
I'm so sorry, babe
I'm so sorry
