Now I received your letter saying you were sorry
And you wanted to come on home to me
(And this is my answer oh oh)
So I decided to answer and tell you baby
Things ain`t what they used to be
(Cause` I was hurt, hurt, hurt)
You see I found me someone else
That I believe appreciate my loving good
(And this is my answer oh oh)
And I`m not gonna mistreat them for you because
Things didn`t go the way you thought they would
(Cause` I was hurt, hurt, hurt)
Now all I can say, hey, hey, hey
(Oh who I`m sorry for you, oh)

For forty days and nights you made me suffer
Before you called back on the telephone
(That really hurt, hurt, hurt)
But I know you was just brainwashed baby
And you couldn`t give it up and come on home
(And here is my answer)
So I finally fell on my knees when I realized
Your love, you didn`t want me to have it
(Cause` I been hurt, hurt, hurt)
And I felt so close to you love
I felt like I could just reach and grab it
(And this is my answer, oh oh)
Now all I can say, hey, hey, hey
(Oh who I`m sorry for you, oh)

Now you said right here in your letter
That you lied and said I did you wrong
(And this is my answer, oh oh)
You know you didn`t care if I lived or died baby
Or worried about how I got along
(That really hurt, hurt, hurt)
So just before I close my letter
Remember I said one day you`d be
(You would be crying)
Broken-hearted and worried baby
Without a love just like me
(And this is my answer, oh oh)
Now all I can say, hey, hey, hey
(Oh who I`m sorry for you, oh)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
