Lyrics
Exonerate Me (ver. 6)
I'm really sorry that I torture and torment you (-ment you)
I wish I didn't have to be your Hannibal Lecter (Lecter)
I hope someday they're gonna say that I'm a genius (you're a genius)
But until the day they finally do, I'm gonna feel sheepish (sheepish)
So, baby, if I told you earnestly
I am so sorry
I'll never, ever pressure you again
Would you exonerate me?
I just want what is best for you (exonerate me)
I feel a pain in my chest for you (exonerate me)
My face is drooping, hoop-dee-doo (exonerate me)
E-X-O-N-E-R-A-T-E, exonerate me
The truth is I was just fatigued from hanging with you (what's with you)
It's not your fault you're just a normal Homo sapien (you're an alien)
I shoulda shut it but the quagmire slowly thickened (you're a genius)
There's something markedly defective in my makeup (I'm sheepish)
So, baby, if I told you earnestly
I am so sorry
I'll never ever pressure you again
Would you exonerate me?
I just want what is best for you (exonerate me)
I feel a pain in my chest for you (exonerate me)
My face is drooping, hoop-dee-doo (exonerate me)
E-X-O-N-E-R-A-T-E, exonerate me
