(What Can I Say) After I Say I'm Sorry? - Helen Forrest

I don’t know why I made you cry

I’m sorry, sweetheart and yet

Though you shouldn’t be lenient with me

I hope you’ll forgive and forget

What can I say, dear, after I say I’m sorry?

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 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?

You made me glad

I made you sad

I made you lonesome and blue

And who ever knew

Who’d ever think that I would be crying to you

What can I say, dear, after I say I’m sorry?

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 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?
