1.
I called you up late last night just to see if you're OK
When your sweet voice came on the line I didn't know what I should say
I asked how you were doin' . . . you said that you were fine
I laughed and said some silly thing, but you were quiet on the line
I asked about your husband . . . you said, "He works 'til two."
I said something 'bout how he works so hard and takes real good care of you
Then I said, "Well I's just callin' . . . I really ought to get to bed."
But as soon as I hung up I knew . . . just what I should have said.
Chorus
I didn't mean to hurt you . . . when the bad became the worse
I didn't mean to leave you . . . girl you've always been my first
I didn't mean to make you cry and question why such pain came to your world
I didn't mean to break your heart . . . 'cause Daddy loves his Baby Girl
2.
A million mem'ries filled my heart and chased my dreams away
I remembered all the songs we sang and all the games we used to play
All the questions that I answered . . . all the tears I had to dry
You made me proud when you succeeded
You made me proud when you just tried
I know I've made some choices . . . and they've been hard for you to take
But I'd rather let the truth be known than try to live with a mistake
And I wrote this song to tell you . . . I'm tryin' to be a better man
And Baby, I still love you . . . and I hope you'll understand.
To Chorus
