Forgive Me Lyrics

There's a first time for everything
Its definitely one of them nights
I knew when I looked in his eyes
That he was gonna be trouble for me
I never wanted to lie, I knew that my baby would cry
If he knew what we were doing
But if his love don't pass the test
I gotta get it from somewhere else
But I'm grown and I need my man
Hope he understands forgive me baby

I've gotta take a chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself an
I Can't wait no more
Sitting all alone
Man I really hope
Hope you'll forgive me (oh oh)
Hope you'll forgive me (oh oh)
Hope you'll forgive me (oh oh)
I Can't wait no more
Man I really hope
Hope you'll forgive me

Bin along time since I
Did something good for myself
But why should I be put through hell
Well hes doing what he wanna do
Ive finally found somebody else
Who with me makes me wanna feel
Things that I've been missing so long
And his love always passed the test
But it's a shame I had to look somewhere else
Well I'm gone and I need a man
Forgive me baby

Forgive me but I need to be loved to
Forgive me but I cant wait around for you
Forgive me if I found a man who understands
Just what I need
Forgive me but I need to be loved to
Forgive me but I cant wait around for you
Forgive me if I found a man who understands
Forgive me baby

I've gotta take a chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself an
I can't wait no more
Sitting all alone
Man I really hope
Hope you'll forgive me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I wanna cry each time I hear this song. This is my story. I was in love with someone for a long time and always felt as though he weren't true to me and never would be. I loved him so much and could never get over him. Years later, I met someone who reminded me of him. We simply became friends. It was driving me insane, because he reminded me of the other one so much, not physically but in a lot of ways. The new guy fell in love with me... so I stopped being in contacts for a while. Anyway to cut the story short, he didn't give up on me, and begged me to love him back. We became close and I felt safe in his arms. I thought he'd make me forget the one I love. One day I had to tell him that I had been in love with someone else for a long time and that I couldn't stop thinking about him. When he found out, he was angry and felt betrayed. I made him cry so much. He didn't call me for a while. He got back in touch later and said he was missing me. I haven't told the one I love about it. I don't know I can face any of them now.
