Lyrics of Sorry, Blame It On Me by Akon

intro

As life goes on
I'm starting to learn more and more about responsibility
And I realize that everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I've done
And things that haven't occurred yet
And things that they don't want to take responsibility for

verse

I'm sorry for the times that I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I'm sorry for the times that I had to go
I'm sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting home, just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I'm sorry for the times I would neglect
I'm sorry for the times I disrespect

verse

I'm sorry for the wrong things that I've done
I'm sorry I'm not always there for my sons
I'm sorry for the fact that I'm not aware
That you can't sleep at night when I am not there
Because I'm in the streets like every day
I'm sorry for the things that I did not say
Like, how you are the best thing in my world
And how I'm so proud to call you my girl

chorus

I understand that there's some problems
And I'm not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it's just a shame on me
I'll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me

hook

You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You could put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me
You could put the blame on me

verse

I'm sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn't know what to do
I'm sorry that you had to go and sell those bags
Just tryna stay busy 'til you heard from dad
When you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though pops treated us like kings
He got a second wife and you didn't agree

verse

He got up and left you there all alone
I'm sorry that you had to do it on your own
I'm sorry that I went and added to your grief
I'm sorry that your son was once a thief
I'm sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I would've listened and not be so bad
I'm sorry that your life turned out this way
I'm sorry that the feds came and took me away

chorus

I understand that there's some problems
And I'm not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show (might show)
If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it's just a shame on me
I'll be the reason for your pain
And you can put the blame on me

hook

You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You could put the blame on me
Said you could put the blame on me (ooh, yeah)
Said you could put the blame on me (ooh, yeah)
Said you could put the blame on me
You could put the blame on me

verse

I'm sorry that it took so long to see
That they were dead wrong tryna put it on me
I'm sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I'm sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt
Just a little young girl tryna have fun
Her daddy should've never let her out that young

verse

I'm sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage?
In a 21-and-older club, they say
Why doesn't anybody wanna take blame?
Verizon backed out, disgracing my name
I'm just a singer tryna entertain
Because I love my fans, I'll take that blame

outro

Even though the blame's on you (on you)
Even though the blame's on you
Even though the blame's on you (oh)
I'll take that blame from you
And you can put that blame on me (on me)
And you can put that blame on me
You can put that blame on me (blame's on me)
And you can put that blame on me (blame's on me)

outro

And you can put that blame on me

outro

And you can put that blame on me
