I Really Didn’t Mean It Lyrics
[Chorus]
I told my girl bye-bye (Bye)
But I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (Fine)
But I really didn't mean it
[Verse 1]
Out of my head to say the things I said
I didn't mean a word
I think jealousy just took a hold of me
I hope she'll ignore the things she heard
(No doubt about it) My heart is in her hands
(With every moment) I'm waiting for a second chance
(Maybe an angel) Will come and help her see
I can't face the world if she don't love me
[Chorus]
I told my girl bye-bye (Bye)
But I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (Fine)
But I really didn't mean it
When I walked away, I cried (Cried)
'Cause I really didn't mean it
So she took me back 'cause she knew I (I)
That I really didn't mean it
I told my girl bye-bye (Bye)
But I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (Fine)
But I really didn't mean it
[Verse 1]
Out of my head to say the things I said
I didn't mean a word
I think jealousy just took a hold of me
I hope she'll ignore the things she heard
(No doubt about it) My heart is in her hands
(With every moment) I'm waiting for a second chance
(Maybe an angel) Will come and help her see
I can't face the world if she don't love me
[Chorus]
I told my girl bye-bye (Bye)
But I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (Fine)
But I really didn't mean it
When I walked away, I cried (Cried)
'Cause I really didn't mean it
So she took me back 'cause she knew I (I)
That I really didn't mean it
[Verse 2]
Dear one, from me, take my apology
I need you back
I promise I know to never let you go
Is there a chance to see you, baby?
(They talk about all) the love that we still share
(Full of emotion) I badly miss your hugging and
(Your kiss in the morning) The way it used to be
I know it's true, but I don't believe
[Chorus]
I told my girl bye-bye (Bye)
But I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (Fine)
But I really didn't mean it
When I walked away, I cried (Cried)
'Cause I really didn't mean it
So she took me back 'cause she knew I (I)
That I really didn't mean it
[Bridge]
(I want you back) It can't be any other way
(I want you back) And I've waited for the day
(I want you back) I'm gonna be a little smarter
(I want you back) I've got to try a little harder
Dear one, from me, take my apology
I need you back
I promise I know to never let you go
Is there a chance to see you, baby?
(They talk about all) the love that we still share
(Full of emotion) I badly miss your hugging and
(Your kiss in the morning) The way it used to be
I know it's true, but I don't believe
[Chorus]
I told my girl bye-bye (Bye)
But I really didn't mean it
Said I met somebody new so fine (Fine)
But I really didn't mean it
When I walked away, I cried (Cried)
'Cause I really didn't mean it
So she took me back 'cause she knew I (I)
That I really didn't mean it
[Bridge]
(I want you back) It can't be any other way
(I want you back) And I've waited for the day
(I want you back) I'm gonna be a little smarter
(I want you back) I've got to try a little harder
She's good, she's fine, and always on my mind
I know our love will stand the test of time
She's my girl and my best friend
And I really didn't mean it
Her love, his love, so fine and so for real
I want the world to know the way I feel
She's my girl and my best friend
And I really didn't mean it
Yeah yeah yeah, ooh ooh ooh...
[Chorus]
I told my girl bye-bye (Bye)

When I walked away, I cried (Cried)
'Cause I really didn't mean it, mean it
So she took me back cause she knew I (I)
