Lyrics Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis

What'd I Say

Piercing words, eyes are red

Watched your taillights in the rain

Empty heart filled with regret

I know we were both to blame

And I'm not sorry that it's over

But for the way we let it end

So I said all I had to say

In letters that I threw away

And you should know, please believe me

I've picked up the phone a thousand times

And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long

It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way

What can I say?

How did it come to this?

I think about you all the time

It's no excuse, but I wish

That I never made you cry

I'm not sorry that it's over

But for the way we let it end

I couldn't find the words to say

And you should know, please believe me

I've picked up the phone a thousand times

And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long

It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way

So what can I say?

(What can I say?)

What can I say?

(What can I say?)

I hate to think all you had of me

(I said all I had to say)

Is a memory I left you

Space between what was meant to be

(In letters that I threw away)

And the mess that it turned into

And you should know, please believe me

I've picked up the phone a thousand times

And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long

It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way

It's like tryin' to spin the world the other way

What can I say?

What can I say?

(What can I say?)
