Akon - Sorry, Blame It On Me lyrics

rate me

As life goes on, I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility

And I realize that everything I do is affecting the people around me

So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I've done

And things that haven't occurred yet

And things that they don’t want to take responsibility for

I’m sorry for the times that I left you home

I was on the road and you were alone

I’m sorry for the times that I had to go

I’m sorry for the fact that I did not know

That you were sitting home just wishing we

Could go back to when it was just you and me

I’m sorry for the times I would neglect

I’m sorry for the times I disrespect

I’m sorry for the wrong things that I’ve done

I’m sorry I’m not always there for my sons

I’m sorry for the fact that I am not aware

That you can’t sleep at night when I am not there

Because I'm in the streets like every day

I'm Sorry for the things that I did not say

Like how you are the best thing in my world

And how I'm so proud to call you my girl

(Bridge)

I understand that there are some problems

And I'm not too blind to know

All the pain you kept inside you

Even though you might not show

If I can't apologize for being wrong

Then it’s just a shame on me

I’ll be the reason for your pain

And you can put the blame on me

(Chorus)

You can put the blame on me (4x)

Said you can put the blame on me (3x)

You can put the blame on me

I'm sorry for the things that he put you through

And all the times you didn’t know what to do

I'm sorry that you had to go and sell those bags

Just trying to stay busy 'til you heard from Dad

And you would rather be home with all your kids

As one big family with love and bliss

And even though Pops treated us like kings

He got a second wife and you didn’t agree

He got up and left you there all alone

I’m sorry that you had to do it on your own

I’m sorry that I went and added to your grief

I’m sorry that your son was once a thief

I’m sorry that I grew up way too fast

I wish I would’ve listened and not be so bad

I’m sorry that your life turned out this way

I’m sorry that the FEDS came and took me away

(Bridge)

I’m sorry that it took so long to see

They were dead wrong trying to put it on me

I’m sorry that it took so long to speak

But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani

I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt

For the embarrassment that she felt

Just a little young girl trying to have fun

Her daddy should have never let her out that young

I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down

I hope they manage better next time around

How was I to know she was underage

In a 21 and older club they say

Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame

For rising back out disgracing my name

I’m just a singer trying to entertain

Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame

Even though the blame’s on you (3x)

I’ll take that blame from you

And you can put that blame on me (2x)

You can put that blame on me

And you can put that blame on me

(Instrumentals)

And you can put that blame on me

And you can put that blame on me

(Fade)
