[English]

Sorry seems to be the hardest word
What I got to do
To make you love me?
What I got to do
To make you care?
What do I do
When lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find
That you're not there?
What I got to do
To make you want me?
What I got to do
To be heard?
What do I say when it's all over, babe?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word (that's right)
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 got to 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 (yo, yo)
Sorry seems to be the hardest word
Sorry!
What do I do
To make you love me?
What I got to do
To be heard?
What do I do
When lightning strikes me? Yeah
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be
The hardest word
