Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Sorry"
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by, and still
Words don't come easily
Like, "Sorry," like, "Sorry"
[Verse 2]
"Forgive me"
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by, and still
Words don't come easily
Like, "Forgive me, forgive me"
[Chorus]
But you can say, "Baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight?"
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh, at the right time
You'd be mine
[Verse 3]
"I love you"
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by, and still
Words don't come easily
Like, "I love you, I love you"
[Chorus]
But you can say, "Baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight?"
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh, at the right time
You'd be mine
[Outro]
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh, at the right time
You'd be mine
You'd be mine
You'd be mine
