I have seen that look before
I know you’re in a stew
I know when you act like that
There’s something I must do
It doesn’t matter what I think
Or what I feel or know
I know I’m trapped just like a rat
Until you let me go
There’s only one thing that will do
One thing I have to say to you

Well, I’m sorry
I’m sorry as I can be
Nobody can be sorrier
Sorrier than me
Than me

Now you’re glaring down at me
With cruel parental eyes
You think that I am not sincere
When I apologize
You tell me not to twist my mouth
Or look down at the floor
It’s not just words you want from me
No, you want something more
You say I’m grounded ’til you’ve seen it
Cause now I have to say it like I mean it

Well, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, sorry, sorry as I can be
No, no, no, no, nobody can be sorrier
Sorrier than me
I’m so sorry can’t you see
No, no, no
I’m sorry, sorry, sorry that it happened
Please don’t, please, don’t, please don’t
Think I’m not
Ohhhh, most of all I’m sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I’m sorry I got caught

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I’m sorry
I’m sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry as can be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody can be sorrier
Sorrier than me
Do you believe me now?
