Cry, Cry, Cry Lyrics

Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
I think you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
When the lights have lost their glow you’re gonna cry, cry, cry

I lie awake at night to wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then you’re gone again
Every question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell you’re gonna cry, cry, cry

You’re gonna cry, cry, cry and you’ll cry alone
When everyone’s forgotten and you’re left on your own
You’re gonna cry, cry, cry

Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone
You wake up some cold day and find you’re alone
You’ll call for me but I’m gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I turn around and walk away you’ll cry, cry, cry

When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you
And you’ll come back for me for a little love that’s true
I’ll tell you no and you’re gonna ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this and you’ll cry, cry, cry

You’re gonna cry, cry, cry and you’ll want me then
It’ll hurt when you think of all the fool you’ve been
You’re gonna cry, cry, cry
