I'M SO SORRY
(P. Souer)


Jose - 1981



I was a-waitin' for the traffic lights
When a Rolls stopped next to my Chevy
I was about to turn my head aside
When a motor cycle bumped into me

I didn't care about the damage made
Since he seemed so unkind
But when I looked into his deep blue eyes
I could only stumble, "Look, I'm sorry"

Oh, I'm so sorry, man, but that's the way I am
So dumb, dumb, dumb sometime
Oh, I'm so sorry, man, it's just the way I am
So dumb, dumb, dumb sometime

He lost that angry look he had in his eyes
And then forced a smile and said, "That's funny
You were the one who's waitin' for the lights
So I'm the one who's really the dummy"

I didn't care about the damage made
Since he was so polite
And when I looked into his deep blue eyes
I could only stumble, "Don't you worry"

Oh, I'm so sorry, man, but that's the way I am
So dumb, dumb, dumb sometime
Oh, I'm so sorry, man, it's just the way I am
So dumb, dumb, dumb sometime
Oh, I'm so sorry (You're so sorry, you're so sorry)
(You're so sorry, girl, you're so sorry)

The morning after, waking up too late
I felt a shiver so uneasy
Ev'rywhere I went I saw see his face
And I heard myself repeating constantly
Ah, come on, take your time
Like a song that gets sung in my mind
Ah, come on

Oh, I'm so sorry, man, it's just the way I am
So dumb, dumb, dumb sometime
Oh, I'm so sorry, man, but that's the way I am
So dumb, dumb, dumb sometime
Oh, I'm so sorry, man, it's just the way I am
So dumb, dumb, dumb sometime
Oh, I'm so sorry, man, but that's the way I am
So dumb..............FADE
