🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I apologize a trillion times
  • I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (oh), I am for real
  • Never meant to make your daughter cry
  • I apologize a trillion times

Sing it again — final chorus

  • I apologize a trillion times
  • Me and yo' daughter, got this thing going on (We got a special kind of thing going on)
  • You say it's puppy love
  • We say it's full grown
