Just two words were all that she would ask of me

And I could have the world and all its holds for me

Of love and tender care not the pain and the sorrow

That will be mine tomorrow but I just can't seem to say it I'm sorry

I know exactly what I should do admit I'm wrong it wouldn't take long

And she'd forgive me

And I know exactly what I ought to say but I'm not built that way

Wish that I could say I'm sorry

I'm a man at least that's what I'll like to think

A stubborn man who now is standing on the brink

Of hate and dispair and I care and I'm sorry

And I ought to tell her but I just can't seem to say it I'm sorry

I know exactly what I should do

But I'm a fool I guess I'll do the things that fools do

I'll stand and watch my dreams go down the drain in my stubborn way

And as they sink I'll say I'm sorry
