So-So Sorry



To the girl named Sam
whose boyfriend I fucked;
I am not singing this to apologize,
For what I did or did not do to you.
I am only singing to say,
I’m so-so sorry for you, Sam.
So-so sorry for you.
What a pity.
I’m so-so sorry,
So-so sorry for you.
But I am not sorry for what I did.
I am not sorry for what I did not do.
Merely so-so sorry for you.

Because you’re young and seem naïve.
No doubt, he’s gonna destroy you.
Oh dear God, he’s gonna destroy you.
I am so-so sorry, you must excuse me,
I cannot act in empathy.
And yeah, he told me he never cheated too.
He told me all the lines you’ve heard too.
And if someone as jaded as me can fall for that,
Dear goodness, girl, you don’t stand a chance.

And, yes, my part was played as well,
But no, I’m not sorry for what I have done.
Every victim is a villain, I pay my dues.
I am only so-so sorry for you, Sam.
So-so sorry for you.
What a pity.
I’m so-so sorry,
So-so sorry for you.
