[Verse 1: David Ruffin]
(Remember me) The one who heard your cries
And reached out and dried your eyes
(Remember me) The one who found you and wrapped all my love around you
When you were all alone and your dreams were all gone
When you had nothing but a tear-stained face, I took you in
Now your broken wing is mended and your need for me has ended
Now you say you must be free
You wanna fly away from me
You were lost yesterday, I gave you my tomorrow
Now you're leaving me in sorrow
And you're telling me you're sorry, but hey
[Chorus: The Temptations & David Ruffin]
Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you
Bbay, sorry is a sorry, sorry word when I need a love that's true
You're telling me, baby, but listen
[Verse 2: David Ruffin]
How could sympathy be all you feel for me
After all the sweet love I've given to you, given you, baby
Girl, you walk away with the best of me
The love I gave to you, you give it to someone new
And sorry won't end this misery
(Remember me) Who took your hand
Held you up and made you stand
(Remember me) The one whose love you shared
The one who really cares
Now you've turned away from me to say that you're sorry
That it had to be, baby, that sorry it had to be
But
[Outro: The Temptations & David Ruffin]
Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you
Sorry is a sorry, sorry word when I need, when I need a love that's true
Baby, sorry, sorry, sorry is a sorry word
But it won't mend my broken heart
