Sorry (Beyoncé cover) Lyrics

I'm sorry

[Verse 1]

Tried to roll you up
You ain't picking up
Heading to the club
I am thinking 'bout you

Me and my ladies sip my D'ussé cup
I do give a f---, chucking my deuces up
Suck on my b---- I have not enough
I am thinking 'bout you

[Chorus]

Middle fingers up
Put them hands high
Wave it in my face
And now Chris cries
Chris cries
Chris cries

[Verse 2]

Papier quadrillé dans le couloir
Quand tu le déplieras je ne serai plus là
Tu liras: "Je ne suis plus là"
Mon visage réagit maintenant sans moi
Et comme je ne suis plus personne
Je m'allonge dans les impressions que je donne
Pour aggraver l'affaire
I better call Annie with the good hair
[Chorus]

Middle fingers up
Put them hands high
Wave it in my face
And now Chris cries
Chris cries
Chris cries
Chris cries
Chris cries

Middle fingers up
Put them hands high
Wave it in my face
And now Chris cries
Chris cries
For all the things I cannot be baby, I cry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

As opposed to attempting to replicate Yonce’s inimitable style and sound, the talented French singer-songwriter instead flipped and funkified it with her ’80s-leaning, electro-popping BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge rendition of Lemonade‘s middle fingers-up anthem, “Sorry.”
To quote every reality TV singing competition judge after an especially good performance, she really made the song her own. Seriously, though. She did."
