[Pre-Chorus]
My lovely lady, I lied into the hole in your ear
That's why you said goodbye, you sung "Get the fuck up out of here" (Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I deserve it but I'm hurtin' so bad (So bad)
Nobody's perfect girl, won't you stop being so mad? (Stop being so mad)
(Ow-ow-ow)
Why do you insist on being like that? (Why?)
I'ma make it up to you in no time flat
Let's have a little chat

[Chorus]
You gotta forgive (Uh)
Forgive and forget (Mmhmm, forget, forget, forget)
'Cause if you give me a chance to be good to ya
You'll see how good a good man can get
(Hey, you gonna see, you gonna see)
You gotta forgive
Forgive and forget (Oh)
'Cause if you give me a chance to be good to ya
You'll see how good a good man can get

[Verse]
I know that I could never take back what I did
And you don't feel like cuttin' any slack to the kid (Nope)
But I'm crawlin' back to ya like an arachnid
Asking you to forgive the sins I committed
Baby, I promise you I'm about to turn over a new leaf (Ah)
No more breaking promises or any causin' you grief
I had a breakthrough that was existential
I'm gonna live up to my best potential, I've learned
And the knowledge I've gained
Will help us to resolve any problems we've obtained
I'm on my knees beggin' like a canine does
Asking you to forgive me, what do you say, my love?
[Pre-Chorus]
My lovely lady, I lied into those eyes on your face (Ah)
(I was not honest, I didn't do it, I promise)
That's why you threw my guitar into your fireplace
(Let it burn, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn)
And I deserve it but I can't take no more (I can't take no more)
My heart is a bull (Hey) and your love is like a matador
(Toro, toro, toro)
Why do you insist on being like this? (Why)
I would do anything just to get another kiss
I am dead serious

[Chorus]
You gotta forgive
Forgive and forget (Please)
(I'm beggin' on my knees)
'Cause if you give me a chance to be good to ya
You'll see how good a good man can get
(You ain't never seen nobody be as good as I can be)
You gotta forgive
Forgive and forget (Yeah)
'Cause if you give me a chance to be good to ya (Hey)
You'll see how good a good man can get

[Outro]
Give me one more chance, uh
