What Can I Say After I Say I’m Sorry

I don't know why I made you cry
I'm sorry, sweetheart, and yet
Though you shouldn't be lenient with me
I hope you'll forgive and forget

What can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry
What can I do to prove it to you, I'm sorry
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care, I wouldn't feel like I do

I was all wrong, but right or wrong, I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry, dear
So what can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry

You made me glad, I made you sad
I made you lonesome and blue
And who ever knew
Who'd ever think that I would be crying to you

What can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry
What can I do to prove it to you, I'm sorry
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care, I wouldn't feel like I do

I was all wrong, but right or wrong, I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry, dear
So what can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry
