Lyrics

What have I got to do to (Gm7)make you love me?

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

What do I (Gm7)do when light ning strikes me

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

What do I (Gm7)do to make you want me?

What have I got to do to be heard?

What do I (Gm7)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 (D7)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.

the hard est word.

What do I do to make you love me?

Oh,

what have I got to do to be heard?

What do I (Gm7)do when light ning (Cm7)strikes me?

(A)What have I got to do?

(Gm)What have I got to do

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