Lyrics You Don't Have to Say You're Sorry - Vanessa Williams

One, two

You don′t have to say you're sorry
We all make mistakes, I′ve made my share, oh
You don't have to say you're sorry
I don′t need those words to know you care
Explanations aren′t required even though you think you should
I don't need to know the reasons, no, not even if they′re good
You don't have to say you′re sorry, but I sure do wish you would

You don't have to say you′re sorry
And that's a silly game that children play, oh
You don't have to say you′re sorry, no
No, you shouldn′t have to live that way

You don't have to say you′re sorry
'Cause we′re both too old it's true
Well, they say when you love someone, forgiveness is the rule
You don′t have to say you're sorry, but I sure do wish you would

Explanations aren't required, even though you think you should
I don′t need to know your reasons
No, not even if they′re good
You don't have to say you′re sorry
But I sure do wish you would
I wish you would
