I took her from the gutter
Just where you threw her down
You walked on her like she was dirt
You kept on walking round
Now, I’m sorry Charlie
Just as sorry as I can be
Listen to me
Well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles
Charlie, she belongs to me
Yes siree
You took advantage of her young love
Of high class intellect
Why you’re so low, that you don’t know
The meaning of respect
Now, I’m sorry Charlie
I’m just as sorry as I can be
Oh, that’s the way the cookie crumbles
Charlie, she belongs to me
Yes siree
You make brags around this town
Until you’re satisfied
You just brag, and Charlie cause
Deep down you know you’ve lied
And I’m sorry Charlie
Well, I’m just as sorry as I can be
Yes siree
Oh, that’s the way the cookie crumbles
Charlie, she belongs to me
Well, now we’re both in love
And about to say “I do”
That’s all she wrote Charlie
We won’t be needing you
Lord, I’m sorry Charlie
I’m just as sorry as I can be
You better listen to me
Yes siree
That’s the way the cookie crumbles
Charlie, she belongs to me
All right
Now we get that organ one more time
Let’s go
I’m sorry Charlie
Oh, I’m sorry
Yeah, all right
I’m sorry Charlie
Sorry as I can be
All right
Yes
