Baby did I ever make you a promise
And I've got so busy that is slipped my mind
These things happen, you know
Then I'm asking you to forgive me
I'm so sorry and I apologize
Oh yeah
'Cause I know to a woman
Her man's promises keep her goin'
Yes they do
I've got to do a little bit better than I've been doing
Baby do you ever need me to hold you
And I was somewhere else at the time
This fool, am I
Then I'm asking you to forgive me
I'm so sorry and I apologize
Oh yeah
'Cause I know to a woman
Her man's love keeps her goin'
Yes it does
I've got to do a little bit better than I've been doin'
A man gets so busy tryin' to meet
His little man's needs
That he forgets some other promises he's made
Oh yeah
But when a man's got himself a woman
That's so sweet and understandin'
You know that man has got it made
In the shade
Baby, whatever time you were crying
And I wasn't there to dry your eyes
Wooh, I'm asking you to forgive me
I'm so sorry and I apologize
Oh yes I am
'Cause I know to a woman
Her man's attentions keep her going
I've got to do a little bit better than I've been doing
And I've got so busy that is slipped my mind
These things happen, you know
Then I'm asking you to forgive me
I'm so sorry and I apologize
Oh yeah
'Cause I know to a woman
Her man's promises keep her goin'
Yes they do
I've got to do a little bit better than I've been doing
Baby do you ever need me to hold you
