Lyrics

Dirty looks from your mother

Receiving disapproving looks from your mother

Never seen you in a dress that color, no

Noticed you wearing a dress in a color I haven't seen before

It's a special occasion

Referring to a special occasion

Not invited but I'm glad I made it

Not officially invited, but glad to have attended


Oh, let me apologize

Expressing regret

I'll make up, make up, make up, make up for all those times

Committing to make amends for past mistakes

Your love, I don't wanna lose

Emphasizing the importance of not losing the love

I'm beggin', beggin', beginn', beggin', I'm begging you

Begging earnestly for forgiveness and a fresh start


Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?

Requesting the person to turn around

Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?

Expressing a desire to resolve the issues

Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

Asking the person to come closer because of a wish to be with them


Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?

Repeating the request for the person to turn around

Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?

Reiterating the desire to work things out

Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

Repeating the request for the person to come closer


Can we talk for a moment?

Suggesting a need for a conversation

Got these feelings that I'm tired of holding on

Feeling burdened by unexpressed emotions

Wasn't tryin' to get wasted

Not intending to get intoxicated but compelled to speak out

I needed more than three or four to say this

Requiring more than a few drinks to express genuine feelings


Oh, let me apologize (yea)

Apologizing again

I'll make up, make up, make up, make up for all those times (all those times)

Promising to make amends for past mistakes

Your love, I don't wanna lose

Emphasizing the desire not to lose the person's love

I'm beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', I'm begging you

Continuing to beg for forgiveness and reconciliation


Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?

Repeating the request for the person to turn around

Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?

Reiterating the wish to work things out

Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

Repeating the request for the person to come closer


Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?

Asking once again for the person to turn around

Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?

Expressing the hope to resolve the issues

Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

Reiterating the request for the person to come closer


You say I'm just another bad guy

Responding to accusations of being a bad person

You say I've done a lot of things I can't undo

Acknowledging past mistakes that cannot be undone

Before you tell me for the last time

Requesting not to be judged for the last time

I'm beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin' you

Continuing to beg for forgiveness and reconciliation


Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?

Repeating the request for the person to turn around

Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?

Expressing the desire to work things out

Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

Repeating the request for the person to come closer


Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?

Once again asking for the person to turn around

Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?

Reiterating the wish to resolve the issues

Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

Repeating the request for the person to come closer
