Sorry Is A Sorry Word

(Remember me) The one who heard your cries

And reached out and dried your eyes

(Remember me) The one who found you and wrapped all my love around you

When you were all alone and all your dreams were all gone

When you had nothing but a tear-stained face, I took you in

(Remember me) Now your broken wing has mended and your need for me has ended

(Remember me) Now you say you must be free

You wanna fly away from me

You were lost in yesterday, I gave you my tomorrow

Now you're leaving me in sorrow

And you're telling me you're sorry, but hey

Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you

Baby, sorry is a sorry, sorry word when I need a love that's true

You're telling me we're through, baby, but listen

How could sympathy be all you feel for me

After all the sweet love I've given to you, given you, baby

Girl, you walked away with the best of me

The love I gave to you, you give it to someone new

And sorry won't end this misery[Verse 3: David Ruffin]

(Remember me) Who took your hand

Held you up and made you stand

(Remember me) The one whose love you shared

The one who really cares

Now you've turned away from me to say that you're sorry

That it had to be, baby, you're sorry it had to be, but

Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you

You say you're sorry, sorry is a sorry, sorry word when I need, when I need a love that's true

Baby, sorry, sorry, sorry is a sorry word

But it won't mend, it won't mend my broken heart

Sorry, sorry
