1. What I got to do to make you love me
What 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 I got to do to make you want me
What I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over babe
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 so sad so sad, why can't we talk it over
Oh, it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.

2. What I do to make you want me
What I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

[Coda:]
Sorry
What do I do to make you love me
What I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What do I got to do? What do I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word.
