Apologize by Peter, Paul and Mary Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I would like to apologize for my friend here
(Apologize, I would like for my friend)
He hasn't been himself for a long, long time
(Apologize, I would like for my friend)
From the beginning of his minding (For my friend
Other people's dids and don'ts (For my friend, for my friend))
He could excuse himself but he won't
And I'm sorry if we busted up your party
(Apologize, I would like for my friend)
[Verse 2]
Yes, there was a girl in his life, and then some, and then some
(Apologize, I would like for my friend)
He was had by her and a good time by all (Good time by all)
She was exactly half at fault
He thought the other was his own
So only half the man has grown
And it's taking him some time to get together
[Verse 3]
He was the first kid on his block to have one
(Yes, there was a girl in his life, and then some)
And he wants to share it with you all of the time
(All of the time, a good time)
He takes advantage of your kindness (A good time, a good time)
Says he needs that just to live (A good time, a good time)
He doesn't want you to forgive him
But he thinks you might if you have half a mind to
[Verse 4]
Yes, I think I would enjoy some coffee
I've had a lot to think in the past few days
And if I told you all the ways (Oh my friend)
My friend and I were not to blame
(Oh my friend I told you all the ways)
You'd see yourself as just the same (The ways you're not to)
So I think I'll wait and save that for the next time
I would like to apologize for my friend here
(Apologize, I would like for my friend)
He hasn't been himself for a long, long time
(Apologize, I would like for my friend)
From the beginning of his minding (For my friend
Other people's dids and don'ts (For my friend, for my friend))
He could excuse himself but he won't
And I'm sorry if we busted up your party
(Apologize, I would like for my friend)
[Verse 2]
