Lyrics

What have I got to do to make you love me?

What have I got to do to (F7)make you care?

What do I do when light ning strikes me

and I wake to find that (F7)you’re not (Bb)there?

What do I do to make you want me?

What have I got to do (F7)to be heard?

What do I say when it’s all o ver,

and (F)sor ry seems to be the (F7)hard est word?

It’s sad,

so sad.

It’s a sad, sad (C)sit u a tion,

and it’s get ting (D)more and more ab surd.

It’s sad,

so sad.

Why can’t we talk it o ver?

Oh, it seems to me

that (Cm)sor ry seems to be the hard est word.

do I do to make you love me?

What have I got to do to be heard?

What do I do when light ning (Cm)strikes me?

(Adim)What have I got to do?

(Gm)What have I got to do

when (Adim)sor ry seems to be the hard est (Gm)word?
