Scatman John Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word song lyrics

GIRL: So Sorry, So So Sorry (x2)

JOHN: Neither of us ever thought, back on the first day that we met

We were both so convinced that the dream would never end

Nobody saw the signs man, it's funny how love is blind man

'Cause it can be over just as fast as it begins

So now I be sitting here, I'm alone trying to stuff my fear

Checkin' out one of the pictures there up on the shelf

The story behind my song, is that you never know what you got 'til it's gone

GIRL: What have I gotta do to make you love me?

What have I gotta do to be heard?

What do I do when it's all over?

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

JOHN: How can I forget that day, that I got up and walked away?

I can still see the tears and the years fall from your eyes

And now I'm all alone, I got nothin' else to do but pray

For the dream that I might have you back here in my life

I'm hoping that now you can see, between the real and the fantasy

Reality is rough but it always has a key (GIRL: So sorry, so so sorry)

The story behind my words... well,

I hope you agree that the truth will set you free

GIRL: What have I gotta do to make you love me?

JOHN: Tell me what I gotta do

GIRL: What have I gotta do to be heard?

JOHN: Oh, I need you in my life

GIRL: What do I do when it's all over?

JOHN: I'm sorry, I'm sorry

GIRL: What have I gotta do?

What have I gotta do?

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

JOHN: Tell me what I gotta do...

Oh, I need you in my life

(GIRL: So sorry, so so sorry)
