Why Should I Cry Over You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You taught me everything I know 'bout being lonesome
And I learned my lesson oh so faithfully
What was I thinking of
When I gave you my love
For I knew you would go eventually
I can't say you never gave me nothing
After all you left me with the blues
It ain't much but at least it's something
I don't believe I will ever lose
CHORUS
Why should I cry over you sweet darlin'
Why should I cry over you
Give me one good reason I should be blue
Why should I cry over you
I'm all through feeling blue for you my darlin'
'Cause I know you would do the same for me
I'm gonna walk right out the door
Try to even up the score
Two can play your game so easily
I don't expect you'll ever come a callin'
But should we chance to meet out on the avenue
Don't be surprised if you don't see teardrops falling
Darlin' why should I cry over you
