Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What have I got to do 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?

[Verse 2]
What do I do to make you want me?
What do I do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

[Chorus]
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?
Well it seems to me
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
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?
Well it seems to me
Sorry seems to be the hardest word
[Verse 3]
What do I do to make you love me?
What do I do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

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 [?]
