Shakespear's Sister - My 16Th Apology lyrics

rate me

(Fahey/Detroit/Feldman) 4:16<br />

<br />

[the things i said about you]<br />

[maybe we could work it out someday]<br />

<br />

things were going pretty well 'till i died<br />

on that summer afternoon<br />

when you broke down before my eyes<br />

well i got a streak of meanness<br />

a clumsy way of speaking<br />

and i don't know where i get it from<br />

it must run in my family<br />

<br />

do i have to go down on my knees?<br />

this is my 16th apology to you<br />

with friends like me who needs enemies<br />

<br />

i got a river inside the size of my rage<br />

which is really something else<br />

when you think of my tender age<br />

well i got a way about me<br />

but it's hard for me to see it<br />

and i don't know when i'm in the wrong<br />

why am i so hard to please?<br />

<br />

this is my 16th apology to you<br />

do i have to go down on my knees for you<br />

with friends like me who needs enemies<br />

<br />

the things i said about you<br />

were all said yesterday<br />

i didn't mean to hurt you<br />

maybe we could work it out someday<br />

<br />

well i got a streak of meanness<br />

a clumsy way of speaking<br />

and i don't know when i'm in the wrong<br />

why am i so hard to please?<br />

<br />

do i have to go down on my knees?<br />

this is my 16th apology to you<br />

with friends like me who needs enemies<br />

<br />

[didn't your mother ever tell you]<br />

[to err is human, to forgive is divine]<br />

[oh well, i'll see you in the next life]
