I didn't mean it when I said I hope the cable in the elevator
Snaps when you step on board
And I was joking when I said I hope you crack your head
And get mangled by the downstairs revolving door
And I was kidding when I said I hope the number one-oh three bus
Hits and makes a pancake out of you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Isn't amazing what a woman in love will do?
(same as the last verse)
And I don't really want to see your taxi on the 59th street bridge
Flip over and crash through the rail
And I'd feel bad if at the airport you were mistaken for a local sex offender
Arrested, beaten up, and thrown in jail
And I really don't want to see you getting radiation poisonining from the
metal detector
That all passengers on foreign and domestic flights must walk through
I'm sorry, forgive me
For all the mean things I said to you
You thought I didn't have a temper
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, surprise!
But I really don't want to see you dismembered by the marijuana sniffing dogs
When a simple little nipping would suffice, would suffice
(again, same as the first one)
And I'm sorry that I said I hope the plane explodes in mid-air
As it carries you away from me
And I'm sorry that I said I hope you break both legs
On the mountain while you ski
And I'm sorry for all the nasty things I said about your mother
Even though we both know they're true
(it's different here at the end)
I'm sorry, forgive me
I'm swallowing my pride I'd feel so guilty if you died
Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm still mad at you.
