Cry, Cry, Cry - Ruth Brown

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

'cause when the lights have lost their glow, you’re gonna cry, cry, cry

Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone

You’ll wake up some cold day and find you’re alone

You’ll call to me but I’m gonna tell you: «Bye, bye, bye,»

When I turn around and walk away, you’ll 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

I lie awake at night and wait 'til 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 going to cry, cry, cry

When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you

You’ll come back to me for a little love that’s true

I’ll tell you no and you gonna ask me why, why, why?

When I remind you of all of this, you’ll cry, cry, cry

You’re gonna cry, cry, cry and you’ll want me there

It’ll hurt when you think of the fool you’ve been

You’re gonna cry, cry, cry
