What Can I Say After I Say I'm Sorry
Nat King Cole · Collection : Box Set, Volume 1 [2007]
What can I say dear after I say I'm sorry,
What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you-oo
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,
Tell me Baby what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry so-so sorry
What can I do to prove it to you I'm sorry
Oh I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care I wouldn't feel -oh I wouldn't feel like I do-do-do
I was all wrong, but right or wrong I don't blame you no-no-no-no
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear,
Sorry I made you cry
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Sorry I made you cry
What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you-oo
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,
Tell me Baby what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry so-so sorry
What can I do to prove it to you I'm sorry
Oh I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care I wouldn't feel -oh I wouldn't feel like I do-do-do
I was all wrong, but right or wrong I don't blame you no-no-no-no
