lyrics

I like the way he brings me roses
And he’s pretty good at paying compliments
He’s almost Mr. Right, but what was missing
I couldn’t put my thumb on it yet

Then one night during a misunderstanding
We were both in the wrong, if truth be told
He gave me the sweetest apology
And I was his from that moment forward

I love the way he says he’s sorry
Swears up and down it’s all his fault
He knows how to make things right
Get down on his knees, apologize
Yeah, I love the way he says he’s sorry

I don’t like feeling this guilty
I toss and I turn all night
Wondering would it be so wrong of me
To pick one tiny little fight

Too bad that’s all now ancient history
Didn’t work out too well in retrospect
He’s out there making someone else happy
I bet it’s with an argument

I loved the way he says he’s sorry
Swore up and down it’s his fault
He knew how to make things right
Get down on his knees, apologize
I loved the way he said he’s sorry
Yeah, I loved the way he said he’s sorry

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
