I COULDN'T CRY IF I WANTED TO |
|
WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD, EDDIE HOLLAND |
|
You ask if I remembered, when we first met. |
|
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget |
|
There, you were standing there. Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair. |
|
Your beauty seem to hypnotize me. I had that feeling I was no longer free. |
|
But when I ask you for a dance. (For a dance) |
|
You wouldn't even give me a chance. (Me a chance) |
|
And it hurt me through and through. That was the first time I got over you. |
|
You had my heart dingling, Like a puppet on a string. To you I meant nothing, darling. But to me it meant everything. |
|
Girl, you know since then through the years. (Through the years) |
|
I've shed so many tears. (So many tears) |
|
And all because of you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to. |
|
I don't know why I still love you. |
|
'Cause you don't even want me around. |
|
Year after year it's the same o' thing. |
|
You build me up, to let me down. |
|
So go on and hurt me. (Hurt me) |
|
Aw, like you did. |
|
This time it'll be different. |
|
Mmm, my tears you'll see no more. |
|
'Cause I've cried so through the years. (Through the years) |
|
Until I run out of tears. (Run out of tears) |
|
And all because of you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to. |
|
I'll never shed another tear. |
|
I couldn't cry no more, darling. |
|
Seems as though the pain |
|
Have gone the tears from my eyes. |
|
Never cry, never. |
|
Never no more. |
|
I'll never shed another tear. |
