Why should I cry? I never done you wrong
I kept my vows, you left me all alone
You told me you loved me, you told me a lie
Why should I pay? Tell me why should I cry?
You knew I worshiped you right from the start
Gave you my love, never thought that we'd part
You didn't care enough to even say goodbye
Why should I pay? Tell me why should I cry?
You know I miss you, now that you're gone
Life can be sad when you're livin' all alone
But, darlin', I'll forget you, your memory will die
Why should I pay? Tell me why should I cry?
