[Verse 1: Duncan]
What I gotta do to make you love me?
What I gotta do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And awake to find that you're not there?

[Verse 2: Simon]
What I gotta do to make you want me
What I gotta do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over, babe
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

[Hook: Lee]
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad sad situation
And it's gettin' 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

[Verse 3: Anthony]
What do I do to make you want me
What I gotta do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

[Hook: Elton John]
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad sad situation
And it's gettin' more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
Sorry seems to be the hardest word

[Break: Lee]
Yeah, yeah
Ooh (Oooh)
Na, na, na, na, na
Sorry!

[Outro: Elton John & Lee]
What do I do to make you love me?
What I gotta do to be heard?
What do I do when lightening strikes me, yeah?
What've I gotta do?
What've I gotta do?
Oh, when sorry seems to be the hardest word
