I never meant to lie to you But I needed me an easy way out I couldn't face the truth with you Because I didn't want to lose my clout I always have been good to you Girl I promise you that nothing has changed Momentary insanity Must be the reason why I did you that way So now I'm telling everybody That I know I was a fool To take a chance of losing And girl I can't take losing you So I'm never keeping secrets And I'm never telling lies I want to make it up to you No I'm never keeping secrets Girl I swear it's all behind I only want to be with you I didn't want to lie to you But I didn't want to let you down It never did occur to me Sooner or later that you would find out You know how much I care for you And I would never want to cause you pain I know that there is no excuse How could I ever treat my baby that way So I'm never keeping secrets And I'm never telling lies I want to make it up to you No I'm never keeping secrets Girl I swear it's all behind I only want to be with you If you want to go I want you to know Girl that I understand it But I don't recommend it 'Cause I love you more I know you can't ignore That I will die for you And lay down my life for you Girl I want to see You standing next to me Girl I apologize For each and every lie I want you to be The only one for me Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever So I'm never keeping secrets And I'm never telling lies I want to make it up to you No I'm never keeping secrets Girl I swear it's all behind I only want to be with you
