[Intro]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, sorry
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, sorry

[Verse 1]
Well, I came home from work in the middle of the day
Two hours early but a little too late
She was coming down the stairs, looking mighty grand
With a big brown suitcase in her hand

[Verse 2]
I said, "What's goin' on, baby, what's the deal?"
She said, "I just don't feel like I used to feel"
With the devil's own smile, right out of the blue
She said, "I done went and found myself somebody new"

[Chorus 1]
She said, sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
She ruined my life, left me brokenhearted
And all she had to say was sorry

[Verse 3]
Well, I laid awake crying for many a night
I just couldn't seem to get her off my mind
I went to her, got down on my knees
Said, "Baby, won't you please come back to me?"
[Chorus 1]
She said, sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
She ruined my life, left me brokenhearted
And all she had to say was sorry

[Verse 4]
Well, time went by and my poor heart healed
I found me a woman whose love is real
Man, she's a looker, the apple of my eye
And every head turns when she walks by

[Verse 5]
Well, we ran into my old flame the other day
It blew my mind what she had to say
She said, "Hello, baby, well how have you been?
I was hoping maybe we could get together again"

[Chorus]
And I said, sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
You ruined my life and left me brokenhearted
And all you had to say was sorry

[Outro]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, sorry
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, sorry
