If I told a lie, if I made you cry
When I said goodbye, I'm sorry
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize

If I caused you pain, I know I'm to blame
Must have been insane, believe me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize

I realize I've been unfair to you
Please, let me make amends
Don't say that you forgot the love we knew
After all, we were more than friends

If I made you blue, I've had heartaches too
Now I beg of you, forgive me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize

Give me back your glance, give me back romance
Give me one more chance; forgive me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize
