Lyrics
Full of Regret
I. He had a smile that just melted my heart.
So, I just gave everything that I got.
Well, I took a chance and I shared my love.
We just did it, just did it, right then.
II. Your place or mine? Oh, wait, my man's at home.
A motel room. Don't want no one to find out.
I knew it was wrong, but I didn't care.
Now, I'm payin', I'm payin' th' price.
(Chorus)
I get home and my man is gone.
I'm cryin' here all alone.
Emptiness is what you get.
When you're full of regret.
Oh, yeah!
(Turnaround)
III. He said, "You're cute." He liked my sexy ways.
He was a flirt. Was it too good to be true?
Had I found my prince, from my fairy tale?
Who could turn it, could turn it down?
IV. He was so strong. And, yet so sensitive.
He was so kind. I know he musta been hurt.
He act like a man who don't get no love.
But, he got it, he got it, tonight!
(Chorus)
I get home and my man is gone.
I'm cryin' here all alone.
Emptiness is what you get.
When you're full of regret.
Oh, yeah!
(Tag)
Listen, emptiness is what you get.
Emptiness is what you get.
Emptiness is what you get.
When you're full of regret.
Oh, yeah!
