What I gotta do to make you love me?
What 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 I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
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 want me?
What I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I do to make you love me?
What I gotta do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
sorry seems to be the hardest word
