Apologize - 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 you
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
