Writer(s): Bernie Taupin, Elton John

what have I gotta do to make you love me

What have I gotta do to make you care

What do I do when lightning strikes me

And I wake to find that you're not there

What have I gotta do to make you want me

What have I gotta do to be heard

What do I say when it's all over

And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad so sad

It's a sad sad situation

And it's getting

more and more absurd

It's sad so sad

Why can't we talk it over

Oh it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

it's sad so sad

It's a sad sad situation

And it's getting more and more absurd

It's sad so sad

Why can't we talk it over

Oh it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me

What have I gotta do to be heard

What do I do when lightning strikes me

What have I got to do

What have I got to do

Sorry seems to be the hardest word
