I can't fall down on my knees (I thought you loved me) 
And apologize to you  (if you really loved me you would've stayed with me) 
(And apologized to me, that's all I asked for) 'cause that ain't my style 
(Well let me hear what you had to say earlier) 

I remember how we met it was on the train 
How could I forget you smiled and looked at me 
The soft of your lips, they captured me 
The whole ride down we kept our eyes on each other 
And then we sat, down together 
You gave me your number, said give me a call 
I thought I wouldn't call at all 
Here we are fell in love like hand to glove 
Pure bliss from above 
Now all we seem to do is fuss and fight 
We never seem to get it right 
See, there's too much fire, so much desire 
So it took a little time to take me higher 
I'm sorry if I hurt you and I went astray 
I guess we gotta call it a day 

I can't fall down on my knees (on my knees) 
And apologize to you (to you) 
'Cause that ain't my style (that ain't my style) 

I remember one night when we were home alone 
You were on the sofa, I was on the phone 
You overheard me call out my best friend's name 
That's when you went crazy, started going insane 
Grabbed the phone from my hand 
Backed me against the wall 
Shouting and asking who was on the call 
You wouldn't believe me when I said it's just a friend 
That's when all the madness began 
You kept yelling wild, I fell to the floor 
Crying in hysteria can't try w'you no more 
I knew you had a temper, I wish I didn't see it 
You wanted me to be faithful, I told you I could be it 
But that didn't stop you from putting your hands on my face 
You simply said you had to put me in my place 
At the end of every tunnel there's always a light 
And the door, it sure looks right 

That's why
I can't fall down on my knees (on my knees) 
And apologize to you (to you) 
'Cause that ain't my style (that ain't my style)
I can't fall down on my knees (on my knees) 
And apologize to you (to you) 
'Cause that ain't my style (that ain't my style)

He's got you begging on your knees 
Crying in your sleep, making you believe him 
But you're stronger than you'll ever know girl 
You control your own world, no need to take no more
He's got you begging on your knees 
Crying in your sleep, making you believe him 
But you're stronger than you'll ever know girl 
You control your own world, no need to take no more 

Yo, heh, yo I asked you to calm down 
Asked you who was on the phone, put the horn down 
You had a glass of wine, a Versace nightgown, a lime-green one 
That I bought you for your trip from the cruise you won 
I don't want to fool with those male friends 
I told you back then when we first got together 
I don't trust those men and you did it again 
I lost my temper, laid down and wrecked the house boo 
That's all I can remember, I'm sorry 

I can't fall down on my knees (on my knees) 
And apologize to you (to you) 
'Cause that ain't my style (that ain't my style)
I can't fall down on my knees (on my knees) 
And apologize to you (to you) 
'Cause that ain't my style (that ain't my style)

I can't fall down on my knees 
And apologize to you 
'Cause that ain't my style
