Well, I've cried so much for you
Baby, that's nothing new
Well, I've cried so much for you
Baby, that's nothing new
Well, I wish I had a dollar for all the times I cried for you
Almost every night, I cry myself to sleep
Everybody else's so happy
But I'll just weep, weep, weep
And all these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
All I wish just once
You would cry for me
Why do I remember?
How could I forget?
I wake up every morning
And my pillow is soaking wet
From these tears, tears, tears
Why wont they let me be?
All I wish just once
You'd cry for me
Now why would you last night, I cried all night long
The only way you do me baby is wrong,wrong,wrong
And all these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Lord I wish just once
You'd cry for me
