Anita Baker - I Apologize
I love me some Anita Baker. I love her smooth, deep, sultry voice. There is nothing like sitting back in a big comfy chair, having a glass of wine (or a cup of international house), and putting on a lil Anita Baker. Anita Baker is probably one of the reasons my family used to nickname me the grandmother - I’ve been rocking out to her since at least junior high. Rapture and Rhythm of Love are perhaps my two favorite Anita Baker albums.
To this day I Apologize is one of my favorite songs by Baker. You all know I love vulnerable songs and this is one of the best. This woman done f***ed up so bad, she’s not even talking to her man…she’s talking to the first person that will listen. If that isn’t desperation, I don’t know what is. Take a peek, and if you like it, check out Sweet Love, You Bring Me Joy or one of the other countless hits. Enjoy!

Anita Baker - I Apologize
Operator
Get my baby on the line
Just the other night
We had a horrible fight
I admit that I
I was out of control
But I still love my man
With my body and soul
When the road gets rough
You say things you should not say
I never meant
To treat my baby that way
~chorus~
I apologize
Oh, believe me I do
I apologize
Honest and true
Because I know I was wrong
So I sing you this song
And I’m tryin’ to get through
To make it up to you, yeah
Operator
It was like a bad dream
Lord, you should have heard
The way he shouted and the way that I screamed
I regret it cause I was unfair
I took it all out on him
Just because he was there
When the road gets rough
You say things you should not say
I never meant to treat my daddy that way
~repeat chorus~
I apologize
‘Cause I was unkind
And I wish that I could go back in time
Erase our goodbyes
And rewrite my lines
But come rain or come shine
I’m gonna do it right this time
I apologize
