I'm sorry for the times that I made you scream For the times that I killed your dreams For the times that I made your whole world rumble For the times that I made you cry For the times that I told you lies For the times that I watched and let you stumble It's too bad, but that's me What goes around comes around, you'll see That I can carry the burden of pain 'Cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane And when I spread my wings to embrace him for life I suck out all the love I, I'll never be nobody's wife I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home Left you lyin' in that bed alone Flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder You're like a stone hangin' round my neck, see Cut it loose before it breaks my back, see I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways You know I've tried but I'm still the same I've got to do it my own way It's too bad, but hey, that's me What goes around comes around, you'll see That I can carry the burden of pain 'Cause it ain't the first time, no, that a man goes insane And when I spread my wings to embrace him for life Suck out all the love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife It's too bad, but hey, that's me What goes around comes around, you'll see That I can carry the burden of pain 'Cause it ain't the first time, oh no, that a man goes insane 'Cause when I spread my wings to embrace him for life Suck out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife I'll never be, never be, never gonna be, never gonna be, never gonna be, nobody's wife
