Artist: Babyface
LP/CD: For The Cool In You ~~ Epic ~~ 1993
Composer: Babyface

I never meant to lie to you
But I needed me an easy way out
I couldn’t face the truth with you
Because I didn’t want to lose my clout

I always have been good to you
Girl, I promise you that nothin’ has changed
Momentary insanity
Must be the reason why I did you that way, babe

So now I’m tellin’ everybody that I
That I know I was a fool
To take a chance of ever losin’
And I can’t take losin’ you

So I’m never keepin’ secrets and I’m never tellin’ lies
I wanna make it up to you
No, I’m never keepin’ secrets, girl, I swear it’s all behind
I only wanna be with you

So I’m never keepin’ secrets and I’m never tellin’ lies
I wanna make it up to you
No, I’m never keepin’ secrets, girl, I swear it’s all behind
I only wanna be with you

I didn’t wanna lie to you
But I didn’t wanna let you down
It never did occur to me
Sooner or later that you would find out

You know how much I care for you
And I would never want to cause you pain, mmm
I know that there is no excuse
How could I ever treat my baby that way

That’s why I’m tellin’ everybody that I
That I know I was a fool
But I don’t give a damn about it
‘Cause I wanna get back with you

And so I’m never keepin’ secrets and I’m never tellin’ lies
I wanna make it up to you
No, I’m never keepin’ secrets, girl, I swear it’s all behind
I only wanna be with you

So I’m never keepin’ secrets and I’m never tellin’ lies
I wanna make it up to you
No, I’m never keepin’ secrets, girl, I swear it’s all behind
I only wanna be with you

If you wanna go, I want you to know
Girl, that I understand it, but I don’t recommend it
‘Cause I love you more, you can’t ignore
That I will die for you, even lay down my life for you, girl

Girl, I wanna see you standin’ next to me
Girl, I apologize for each and every lie
I want you to be the only one for me
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever

So I’m never keepin’ secrets and I’m never tellin’ lies
I wanna make it up to you
No, I’m never keepin’ secrets, girl, I swear it’s all behind
I only wanna be with you

So I’m never keepin’ secrets and I’m never tellin’ lies
I wanna make it up to you
No, I’m never keepin’ secrets, girl, I swear it’s all behind
I only wanna be with you

So I’m never keepin’ secrets and I’m never tellin’ lies
I wanna make it up to you
No, I’m never keepin’ secrets, girl, I swear it’s all behind
I only wanna be with you

So I’m never keepin’ secrets and I’m never tellin’ lies
I wanna make it up to you
No, I’m never keepin’ secrets, girl, I swear it’s all behind
I only wanna be with you
