Apologize Lyrics - Dance With My Father - Luther Vandross

Your love's never been better 

So good it's a sin 

But it's time for a decision 

Is it me or him? 

Before you make your mind up, hear me 

I just want you to see things clearly 

This should be about love, not money 

Don't let him try to take you from me 

I don't wanna have to apologize 

I don't wanna feel I've been penalized 

Just 'cause I can drive in a better car 

Live in a bigger house just like a superstar 

He says that I can only give you 

Material things, but that's not true 

You see my heart is rich with love for you 

Don't let him make you doubt my love for you 

Yeah, baby 

I work hard for my money 

No one gave it to me 

But some fools think the deeper the pocket 

The smaller the heart will be, not true 

I'm only tryin' to share me with you 

Look at all the lovin' we do 

Find the meaning in the words I'm sayin' 

I'm not just another player playin' 

I don't wanna have to apologize (or give a damn) 

And I don't appreciate being criticized (for who I am) 

Just 'cause I can buy you a lotta things 

Or take you anyplace 

That's just what money brings 

He wants you to believe that I'm tryin' to buy your love 

'Cause that's what he would do 

He thinks since he's a man with nothing 

That he's got better love for you 

No way 

Tell him now, let him go 

Or I can no longer be yours 

Tell him how you feel about me 

I can't keep standing on the side 

Don't let him fill your mind with lies about me 

Leave him with his fallacies 

I don't care what bull he believes 

Tell him that enough is enough 

Just don't return a disbeliever 

You've always been a willing receiver of my love 

I don't think I have to apologize (I work for this) 

I don't wanna feel like I'm penalized (for being rich) 

Doesn't bother me where he thinks I stand 

I'm bein' my true self 

Just doin' what I can 

He thinks I won you with materiality 

But honey, you know that's not so 

And even if he understood me 

It's simply time for him to go---so let him go! 

I don't wanna change you 

'cause I'm in love with who you are 

So I don't wanna apologize for bein' a superstar 

Haven't I proved that I'm here for you? 

What am I guilty of? 

What did or didn't I do? 

Maybe I can't be myself with somebody 

Who believes such things are true 

I'm losing self-respect from trying 

I'm losing my desire too---I can't do it 

I don't wanna have to apologize (or give a damn) 

I don't wanna feel I've been penalized (for who I am) 

Just 'cause I can buy you a lotta things 

Or take you anyplace 

That's just what money brings 

He wants you to believe that I'm tryin' to buy your love 

'Cause that's what he would do
