I Really Didn’t Mean It Songtext
von Luther Vandross

I told my girl, bye-bye (bye)
But I really didn′t mean it
Said I met somebody new, so fine (fine)
But I really didn't mean it

Out of my head to say the things I said
I didn′t mean a word
I think jealousy just took a hold of me
I hope she'll ignore the things she heard
(No doubt about it) my heart is in her hands
(With every moment) I'm waiting for my second chance
(Maybe an angel) will come and help her see
I can′t face the world if she don′t love me


I told my girl, bye-bye (bye)
But I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new, so fine (fine)
But I really didn′t mean it
When I walked away, I cried (cried)
'Cause I really didn′t mean it
So she took me back, 'cause she knew I (I)
That I really didn′t mean it

Dear one, from me, take my apology
I need you back
I promise, I know to never let you go
Is there a chance to see you, baby?
(They talk about all) the love that we still share
(Full of emotion) I badly miss your hugging and
(Your kiss in the morning) the way it used to be
I know it's true, but I don't believe

I told my girl, bye-bye (bye)
But I really didn′t mean it
Said I met somebody new, so fine (fine)
But I really didn′t mean it
When I walked away, I cried (cried)
'Cause I really didn′t mean it
So she took me back 'cause she knew I (I)
That I really didn′t mean it (mean it, mean it)


(I want you back) it can't be any other way
(I want you back) and I′ve waited for the day
(I want you back) I'm gonna be a little smarter
(I want you back) I've got to try a little harder

She′s good, she′s fine, and always on my mind (mind)
I know, our love will stand the test of time
She's my girl and my best friend (fine)
And I really didn′t mean it
Her love, his love, so fine and so for real
I want the world to know the way I feel
She's my girl and my best friend (fine)
And I really didn′t mean it
Yeah, yeah, yeah (oh-oh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Yeah, I told my girl, bye-bye (bye)
But I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new, so fine (fine)
But I really didn′t mean it
When I walked away, I cried (cried)
'Cause I really didn't mean it, mean it
So she took me back ′cause she knew I (I)
That I really didn′t mean it

Yeah-yeah (yeah) (bye-bye, bye)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) yeah-yeah, yeah (so fine, fine)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh) hey, hey, yeah, hey (I cried)
I really didn't mean it, mean it, mean it, yeah
′Cause she knew I (I)
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah, I told my girl bye-bye (bye)
