What have I gotta do to make you love me?
What have I gotta do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me?
What have I gotta do to be heard? Ohh
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

Oh, what do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad, why can't we talk it over?
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me?
What have I gotta do to make you care? Ohh
What do I say when it's all over?
What have I gotta do, what have I gotta do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word?
