What Can I Say After I Say I'm Sorry
Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]
Oh what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry
Oh 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 take somebody like you to 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.
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.
I'm sorry...
