Songs like this where he sings with a little bit of a slur or drawl I always imagine as being from the point of view of someone who's really drunk. Here, the narrator's trying desperately to apologize, but due to the inebriation he doesn't really understand that what he's done can't exactly be made up so easily, so the song comes off as "Oh, yeah, that... but I still really love ya, babe, okay?" And to be fair, it is a REALLY corny and schmaltzy and sentimental song, but hey, maybe that's just the alcohol talking.
The song's no masterpiece or anything but it's not entirely accurate to call it sexist. It's more like sexist by proxy.
