The Letter (Guilty)

Hey, baby, I got your letter in the mail today
(Ooh-wee) I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry (yes, sir)
I received a letter (I'm so sorry) in the mail
(I know I was wrong, I don't know what I was thinking)
I'm so sorry, baby
(I'm so sorry, baby, can you just hear me?) So sorry, baby
(Just give me one chance to explain)
(Baby, let me -, let me read the letter to you)
But when I did (can I read the letter, baby?)
Can I read the letter? (Let me try to explain)

It said, "Dear, baby, I write this with all my heart
I write with all my tears
(I gotta say goodbye) after all these years"

She said, "I ran into a woman just the other day
And I was hurt by some words that she did say
I was feeling kinda hungry, and I stopped to get a bite to eat
Next to me was a woman so friendly and so happy
I looked at her and said, "Hello, it seem like life is good, girl"
She said, "I'm happy 'cause I met a man that brightens my whole world"
We got to talking and I found out that the man was you
(Low-down dirty, you cheated)
Now tell me, what the hell, can you explain what I write to you?"
I looked her in her eyes and said

("I'm guilty, baby, for being no good")
For being no, no, no, no, no, no good
Everything you feel, girl (is understood)
I told my woman, baby
("I'm guilty, baby") guilty, baby ("for being no good"), yeah
Everything that you feel, girl, is totally (is understood)

My woman said this
"She even wears the same perfume as me
Got your pictures in a beer folder
Tell me, how could it be?" (How could it be?)
She said, "I'm not gonna cry no, no more
No more about you (no, I did)
'Cause from the children to the clothes to making love
Fool, I was good to you"

She said, "You deserve for me to take everything
'Cause you took from me and the children, oh, her diamond ring"
You low-down dirty dog
She said, "Now, how you got the nerve to explain, you dirty dog?"
She sent the papers in the mail
"You dirty bastard, I'm gonna take it all"
I looked her in her eyes and said

("I'm guilty, baby, for being no good")
Yeah, for being no, no, no, no good
Everything you feel, girl (is understood)

I told my woman, baby, baby
("I'm guilty, baby") guilty, baby ("for being no good")
For being no, no, no, no good
Everything you feel, girl (is understood)
Oh, I'm so sorry, baby, babe
Oh, I'm so sorry, baby, baby
For being no good
But deep down in my heart, baby, I understand

I traded a good thing for a few hours of excitement
Yes, I did
Oh, I'm so sorry, baby, baby
I looked her in her eyes and said

("I'm guilty, baby") guilty, baby ("for being no good")
For being no good, no good
Everything you -
