I know this was my fault but

How much should it cost

To make things right

Do I have to pay for life

We all fall short sometimes

And I'm guilty of that crime

But I just wanna make you see

That you can still believe in me

I know, I make mistakes

I am what I am

I'm only a man

So don't take my joy away

Don't turn your back on me

Speak to me, let me know how you feel

If you feel like you can hold on and be strong

I will never leave you lonely

I cry sometimes 'cause I make you cry

And that ain't right

I won't make the same mistake twice

Baby please forgive me

I know, I make mistakes

I am what I am

I'm only a man

So don't take my joy away

Don't turn your back on me

No I can't erase the wrong I've done

But I hope you can give me another chance

'Cause if you were me you would want the same

And I'd give that chance to you

I know, I make mistakes

I am what I am

I'm only a man

So don't take my joy away

Don't turn your back on me

I know, I make mistakes

I am what I am

I'm only a man

So don't take my joy away

Don't turn your back on me
