Sorry Is a Sorry Word

Lyrics

[Verse 1: David Ruffin] (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 [Verse 2: David Ruffin] (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 [Chorus: The Temptations & David Ruffin] 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 [Bridge: David Ruffin] 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 [Chorus: The Temptations & David Ruffin] 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
