Black Plant lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your bit your lip and on the tip of your tongue was your view

He hadn't dealt with how you felt in ways that suited you

Got paper cuts from the love letters you never gave him

Could not meet your new-found needs for misbehaving

[Chorus]

Why, why would you say sorry?

Oh, why would you, why would you say?

[Verse 2]

You said there was a nagging lack of smiles

When dancing on your back

Tenderness aplenty but that wasn't what you craved

There's holes in hearts, desire starts to make demands

And dear boy, you'd be a fool to make your plans with her

[Chorus]

Why would you say sorry?

Oh, why would you, why would you say sorry?

Oh, why would you say sorry?

Oh, why would you?

[Bridge]

When it's just one of many bullets you will bite

While waiting for a ray of light

Waiting for a ray of light

Waiting for a ray of light

[Verse 3]

The paper cuts from the love letters you never gave him

Could not meet your new-found needs for misbehaving

[Chorus]

Why, why would you say sorry?

Oh, why would you, why would you say sorry?

Oh, why would you say sorry?

Oh, why would you?

(Why would you?) Why would you say sorry?

(Why would you?) Why would you say sorry?

(Why would you?) Why would you say sorry?

(Why would you?) Why would you say sorry?

(Why would you? Why would you?

Why would you? Why would you?)
