Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest WordMary J. Blige

Songwriter: Elton John Bernie Taupin

Producer: DJ Camper Th3ory Bizness Boi

[Verse 1]
What do I got to do to make you love me?
What do I got to do to make you care?
What do I got to do when lighting strikes me?
And to wake to find that you're not there?

[Verse 2]
What do I got to do to make you want me?
What do I got to do to be heard?
And what do I say when it's all over, babe?
And "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

[Chorus]
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad situation
And it's getting more and more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over, babe?
Whoa, it seems to me
That "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

[Chorus]
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad situation
And it's getting more and more and more absurd
Yes, it is
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over, babe?
Whoa, it seems to me
That "sorry" seems to be the hardest word

[Verse 3]
What do I got to do to make you love me?
What do I got to do to make you care? Yeah
And what do I do when lighting strikes me?
What do I got to do, what do I got to do
When "sorry" seems to be the hardest word?

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
