INTRO: x 2
(VERSE 1)
If this is a
ghetto, I'
m in it with y
/
ou
If it's just
a prison,
I'm locked in
it too
I tried to
leave you,
but after all
that we had s
aid
I went to piec
es when I s
hould have sho
uted and screa
med
instead. So
sorry, I said
(SAME AS VERSE 1)
Your powers of persuasion, those quizzical eyes
Have tired and tied me with innocent guile.
I would have walked out, and after all the tears we shed
I should have stalked out, gone and painted the town bright red
But instead, So sorry I said
(BRIDGE)
How tough it
gets, do
n't talk to me
about it!
To pay off y
our debts,
I worked on ov
ertime
And you say
you never beli
eved in luck!
(VERSE 3)
If you need
a reason, co
nsider me mad
An old retai
ner, loyal an
d sad
I bought my
freedom, bu
t after all t
hat we had sha
red
I couldn't lea
ve you. Thin
k of the skins
I'd have to s
hed ins-tead
So sorry, I sa
id
So Sorry, I sa
id
Oooh! So sor
ry, I said
