What can I say after I say I'm sorry

Verse:
I/ don't know   why///   I/ made you   cry.///
I'm/ sorry   sweet-/heart, and   yet,///   /// though
You/ shouldn't   be///   len-/ient with   me,//I
Hope/ you'll for-   give/ me and for-   get.///   ////

Chorus:
What can I say dear,   after I say I'm   sor-/ry?/   ///|
What can I do to   prove it to you I'm   sor-/ry?/   ///|
I didn't mean to   ever be mean to   you.///   /// If
I didn't care I   wouldn't feel like I   do.///   ////
--------------------------------------
I was all wrong, but   right or wrong I don't   blame/ you./   ///|
Why should I take some-   body like you and   shame/ you?/   / I know that
I/ made you   cry/ and I'm   so/ sorry   dear.// So
What can I say dear,   after I say I'm   sor-/ry?/   /|||
