Sorry, Blame It On Me

[Intro: Akon] As life goes on I'm startin to learn more and more about responsibility And I realize that everything I do is affecting the people around me So I wanted to take this time out To apologize for things that I've done And things that haven't occured yet And things that they don't want to take responsibility for [Verse 1] I'm sorry for the times that I left you home I was on the road and you were alone I'm sorry for the times that I had to go I'm sorry for the fact that I did not know That you were sittin home just wishin we Could go back to when it was just you and me I'm sorry for the times I would neglect I'm sorry for the times I disrespect I'm sorry for the wrong things that I've done I'm sorry I'm not always there for my sons I'm sorry for the fact that I'm not aware That you can't sleep at night when I am not there Because I'm in the streets like every day I'm sorry for the things that I did not say Like how you are the best thing in my world And how I'm so proud to call you my girl [Hook: Akon] I understand there are some problems And I'm not to blind to look All the pain you kept inside you Even though you might not show If I can apologize for bein wrong Then it's just a shame on me I'll be the reason for your pain And you can put the blame on me You could put the blame on me You could put the blame on me You could put the blame on me You could put the blame on me Said you could put the blame on me Said you could put the blame on me Said you could put the blame on me You could put the blame on me [Verse 2] I'm sorry for the things that he put you through And all the times you didn't know what to do I'm sorry that you had to go and sell those bags Just tryin to stay busy 'til you heard from dad When you would rather be home with all your kids As one big family with love and bliss And even though pops treated us like kings He got a second wife and you didn't agree He got up and left you there all alone I'm sorry that you had to do it on your own I'm sorry that I went and added to your grief I'm sorry that your son was once a theif I'm sorry that I grew up way too fast I wish I would've listened and not be so bad I'm sorry that your life turned out this way I'm sorry that the feds came and took me away [Hook] [Verse 3] I'm sorry that it took so long to see That they were dead wrong tryin to put it on me I'm sorry that it took so long to speak But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani I'm sorry for the hand that she was dealt For the embarrassment that she felt Just a little young girl tryin to have fun Her daddy should've never let her out that young I'm sorry for Club Zen gettin shut down I hope they manage better next time around How was I to know she was underage?
