My 16th Apology — текст песни (Shakespears Sister)

(Fahey/Detroit/Feldman) 4:16
[the things i said about you]
[maybe we could work it out someday]
things were going pretty well `till i died
on that summer afternoon
when you broke down before my eyes
well i got a streak of meanness
a clumsy way of speaking
and i don`t know where i get it from
it must run in my family
do i have to go down on my knees?
this is my 16th apology to you
with friends like me who needs enemies
i got a river inside the size of my rage
which is really something else
when you think of my tender age
well i got a way about me
but it`s hard for me to see it
and i don`t know when i`m in the wrong
why am i so hard to please?
this is my 16th apology to you
do i have to go down on my knees for you
with friends like me who needs enemies
the things i said about you
were all said yesterday
i didn`t mean to hurt you
maybe we could work it out someday
well i got a streak of meanness
a clumsy way of speaking
and i don`t know when i`m in the wrong
why am i so hard to please?
do i have to go down on my knees?
this is my 16th apology to you
with friends like me who needs enemies
[didn`t your mother ever tell you]
[to err is human, to forgive is divine]
[oh well, i`ll see you in the next life]
