On Bended Knee

"On Bended Knee" is a song by American R&B group Boyz II Men for the Motown label. It was written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and released in November 1994 by Motown as the second single from the group's second album, II (1994). In the lyrics of the song, the speaker begs "on bended knee" for his ex-lover to come back to him, and apologizes for his wrongdoing. In the United States, the song replaced Boyz II Men's previous single, "I'll Make Love to You", at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
