Shakespear's Sister - My 16th Apology lyrics

things were going pretty well 'till i died on that summer afternoon when you broke down before my eyes well i got a streak of meaness a clumsy way of speaking and i don't know where i get it from it must run in my family do i have to go down on my knees? this is my 16th apology to you with friends like me who needs enemies i got a river the size of my rage which is really something else when you think of my tender age well i got a way about me but it's hard for me to see it and i don't know when i'm wrong why am i so hard to please? do i have to go down on my knees? this is my 16th apology to you with friends like me who needs enemies the things i said about you were all said yesterday i didn't mean to hurt you maybe we could work it out someday do i have to go down on my knees? this is my 16th apology to you with friends like me who needs enemies
