Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sorry

Is all that you can say

Years gone by and still

Words don't come easily

Like sorry, like sorry

[Verse 2]

Forgive me

Is all that you can say

Years gone by and still

Words don't come easily

Like forgive me, forgive me

[Verse 3]

But you can say, baby

Baby, can I hold you tonight?

Baby, if I told you the right words

Oh, at the right time

You'll be mine

[Verse 4]

I love you

Is all that you can say

Years gone by and still

Words don't come easily

Like I love you, I love you

[Verse 5]

But you can say, baby

Baby, can I hold you tonight?

Baby, if I told you the right words

Oh, at the right time

You'll be mine

[Verse 6]

Baby, can I hold you tonight?

Baby, if I told you the right words

Oh, at the right time

You'd be mine

You be mine

You be mine
