Song Lyrics

(Now hear this)
Vinyl star international sound system (bloodclaat rudebwoy)
Nuh DJ cyan play this
Nuh bwoy

Sorry (bumboclaat)
Is all that you can say (Jesus, bare tune bowy)
Years gone by and still (sound dead 'ya now)
These words don't come easily (wa'ppen to some ah dem fool 'ya?)
Like sorry, like sorry
But you can say baby (bare tune)
Baby can I hold you tonight? (Tonight)
And maybe if I told you the right words
Oh at the right time (go inna it mi general)
You'd be mine (bumboclaat)
Oh, you'd be mine (You can play this bwoy)

From you know seh you live good an' you nuh beg nuttin'
You get up and work, true you haffi earn sum'n
Then you're ready (listen bwoy)
Lord God, me seh you ready
From you know seh you good gyal an' you nuh need nuttin' (Jesus)
You get up and work, cah you haffi earn sum'n

Sorry (bumboclaat)
Is all that you can say (wah di man ah seh rudebwoy?)
Years gone by and still (you can play this?)
These words don't come easily
Like sorry, like sorry
But you can say baby (go inna it mi general)
Baby can I hold you tonight?
And maybe if I told you the right words (exclusive)
Oh at the right time (nuh bwoy can play this man)
You'd you be mine
Oh, you'll be mine
