Regrets (7" Version) James Brown

[Intro]
You know, when... a person does another person wrong
And  there's prob'ly a lot of ways to say "I'm sorry", but...
And  after that, hey, all you have to live with is your memories
But don't let it get you down, 'cause it happens to the best of us

[Verse 1]
Oh, I wish that I could take back
All  the things I've done to hurt you
I  didn't mean to be so cruel
And yet, I know I've been selfish
And  at times, a jealous fool

[Verse 2]
And every thoughtless thing that I've done
Keeps coming back to haunt me
Because you took each one
To  your little somber heart
And I realize, that it's my fault
But we've grown worlds apart...

[Chorus]
Oh, I have regrets
(I have regrets), regrets
For my mistaken thinkin' only of myself
Now that all I have left are these mean regrets
(I have regrets), regrets
For the things I did, somehow I just can't forgive
And I guess I'll always have to live with these mean regrets
Mmhm...
