I really need the opportunity to make you understand

what I actually meant. 

To tell you what I was trying to say 

when my words just came out all wrong. 

You see, my nerves got the better of me 

and I got all tongue tied 

And the compliment I was trying to give 

came out more like an insult instead. 

So I hope you will accept my apology 

and please give me the chance to explain. 

'Cause you are really are one in a million 

and a real asset to my life.
