What have I got to do to make you love me

What have 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 do I do to make you want me

What have I got to do to be heard

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
