Who's Sorry Now
André Previn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's Sorry Now?
Who's Sorry Now?
Who's heart is aching for breaking each vow?
Who's sad and blue?
Who's crying too?
Just like I cried over you.
Right to the end,
Just like a friend,
I tried to warn you somehow.




You had your way,
Now you must pay;
