Lyrics:

Writers: Elton John, Bernard J.P. Taupin

What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?

What I got to do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
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 I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
What have I got to do, what have I got to do?
Oh, its seems to me, sorry seems to be the hardest word.
