What Can I Say After I Say I'm Sorry? Songtext
von Dinah Washington

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?
