Why do you cry?

Why do you cry? Lyrics

One night my girl got restless
Said, "We never go out no more."
I said, "I work too hard for dancing."
Said she didn't and slammed the door

That girl she done me murder
And her getaway was clean
I wonder why did she cry
When it's me that's getting mean?

I swore that I wouldn't follow
But my pride got the best of me
When I found her in his arms
They were all that I could see

Now some say love is blind
It must be crazy from the heat
Tell me why do you cry
When it's him lying in the street?

Tell me now why do you cry?
Baby, what can the matter be?
Was that a teardrop in your eye just for me?
Tell me now why do you cry?
Ain't you got what you waited for?
You can cry out your eyes alone forever more

Looks like the sky is falling
Falling down on me
I'm like Adam caught red handed
Right beneath that old apple tree

Now she got what she wanted
And I got ten to life
Tell me why do you cry
When it's me holding the knife?

Tell me now why do you cry?
Baby, what can the matter be?
Was that a teardrop in your eye just for me?
Tell me now why do you cry?
Ain't you got what you waited for?
You can cry out your eyes alone forever more
