Can't Explain Lyrics
I’m truly sorry baby
For what I did to you
While you were busy loving me
I was busy too
Oh, I played you dirty boy
Did some things I shouldn’t do
While you were only trying to treat me good
I was playing
I can’t even begin to explain
I’m sorry, sorry ba-by
I can’t even begin to explain
Hmm mmm
I’m truly sorry boy
Believe me I had my turn
The next time love came along yeah
It was me who burned
Sad and desperate, I cried
Wondering why, asking God why
He would do this to me
So damn easy
But karma’s real and now I really do understand
What you give is what you get
Universal pain
Paid my price
And looked at my life
And finally I’m loving somebody
Not just me and
I can’t even begin to explain
Oh, how good it is
I can’t even begin to explain
Oh baby
What goes around really do
Really does come back around
And I’m sorry for what I did to you
You didn’t deserve what I gave you
But I gave it to you
I hope you’re OK
I hope you’re loving, well
Baby just because you loved and lost
Don’t mean stop loving
If you have a nightmare
It doesn’t mean you stop dreaming
Don’t give up on love
Just because what I did to you
I hope you’re ok
I really do
I can’t even begin to explain
Oh give love a try a baby
I can’t even begin to explain
For what I did to you
While you were busy loving me
I was busy too
Oh, I played you dirty boy
Did some things I shouldn’t do
While you were only trying to treat me good
I was playing
I’m sorry, sorry ba-by
I can’t even begin to explain
Hmm mmm
Believe me I had my turn
The next time love came along yeah
It was me who burned
Sad and desperate, I cried
Wondering why, asking God why
He would do this to me
So damn easy
But karma’s real and now I really do understand
What you give is what you get
Universal pain
Paid my price
And looked at my life
And finally I’m loving somebody
Not just me and
Oh, how good it is
I can’t even begin to explain
Oh baby
Really does come back around
And I’m sorry for what I did to you
You didn’t deserve what I gave you
But I gave it to you
I hope you’re OK
I hope you’re loving, well
Baby just because you loved and lost
Don’t mean stop loving
If you have a nightmare
It doesn’t mean you stop dreaming
Don’t give up on love
Just because what I did to you
I hope you’re ok
I really do
Oh give love a try a baby

Does anyone have any idea what this song pertains to? I'm sorta wondering if this is something personal Jill went through or if it's about someone she knew. I dig the jazzy touch to it though.
I am guessing she cheated on her man (while you were busy loving me, I was busy too). Her comeuppance came from her next man. Now she knows how it feels to have the person you love hurt you. She is trying to make amends with the first guy. Doesn't want to rekindle the romance, but hopes she didn't ruin him.
