My 16th Apology

things were going pretty well 'till i died
 on that summer afternoon
 when you broke down before my eyes
 well i got a streak of meaness
 a clumsy way of speaking
 and i don't know where i get it from
 it must run in my family
 do i have to go down on my knees?
 this is my 16th apology to you
 with friends like me who needs enemies
 i got a river the size of my rage
 which is really something else
 when you think of my tender age
 well i got a way about me
 but it's hard for me to see it
 and i don't know when i'm wrong
 why am i so hard to please?
 do i have to go down on my knees?
 this is my 16th apology to you
 with friends like me who needs enemies
 the things i said about you
 were all said yesterday
 i didn't mean to hurt you
 maybe we could work it out someday
 do i have to go down on my knees?
 this is my 16th apology to you
 with friends like me who needs enemies
