Apologize

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
 And let him fill your mind with lies about me
 Leave him with his fallacies
 I don't care what hell 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
