Who's Sorry Now
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
Who's Sorry Now?
Who's heart is aching for breaking each vow?
Who's sad and blue?
Who's crying too?
Just like I cried over you.
Right to the end,
Just like a friend,
I tried to warn you somehow.
You had your way,
Now you must pay;
Who's Sorry Now
