I'm the kind of girl you owe and apology
If you think you're gonna walk away with the best part of me
Because I'm a giver of love, time, talent and vision
And simply hurting you, teasing you is not my division
So come close, real close . . . and you will see
That I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology.

I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology it's true
Since you walked out on my life, perhaps the best part of you
I could never ignore my blood running through a child's vein
But you left me like forgotten baggage on a midnight train
Just come close, real close . . . and you will see
That I'm the kind of girl you owe and apology.

I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology
If you insist on contaminating my world for eternity
Because I'm no nonsense, no drama, no juice
I pity the soul who's ignorance runs loose
So come close, real close . . . and you will see
That I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology.

I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology, you'll see
Because I'm not down with the lies and trickery
Don't misuse your hands and play on my innocence
Then twenty years later say you didn't know the difference
Just come close, real close . . . and you will see
That I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology.

I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology
If you think bitch is my name when you're calling me
Because I have a name, a first and a last
And if you don't know, all you have to do is ask
So come close, real close . . . and you will see
That I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology.

I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology right now
Because I don't easily shake the feeling of being let down
I'll forgive you, forget you and try to make the best of you
Because life's just too short to be angered by the  mess you do
But come close, real close . . . and you will see
That I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology.

I'm the kind of girl you owe and apology
If folks think they'll ever get the best of me
Because my heart and soul were set in steel
My bones emit a resilience that just won't chill
So come close, real close . . . and you will see
That I'm the kind of girl you owe an apology.
