Valerie Simpson
Didn’t You Know You’d Have To Cry Sometime
[Verse 1]
Remember when you left
Yeah, you had your rules about playin' the game
And any day, you could walk away, feelin' no pain

[Verse 2]
Now look at yourself
Yeah, you're all hung up on somebody else
And in your eyes I see all the signs
Of the misery that you laid on me

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, didn't you know
You'd have to cry sometime
Didn't you know
You'd have to hurt sometime
Didn't you know
You'd have to lose your pride
Didn't anybody tell you
Love had another side

[Verse 3]
Ooh, you used to be so proud
Now your head's a little lower
And you walk a little slower
And you don't talk so loud
[Verse 4]
Now, you've gotten wise
Yeah, you know how love can
Build you up one moment
And the next cut you down to size
And then you discover
All he told you was a bunch of lies

[Chorus]
Didn't you know, baby
You'd have to cry sometime
Didn't you know, didn't you know
You'd have to hurt sometime
Didn't you know
You'd have to lose your pride
Didn't anybody tell you
Love had another side

[Bridge]
(Aah, ooh...) Aah, oh yeah
(Aah, ooh...) Aah, yeah yeah yeah
Another side, another side (another side, another side)
Another, 'nother (another side, another side) ah, yeah

[Verse 5]
Now, you come to me
Yeah, you hurt so bad
You wanna feel the security
Of a love you once had, baby
But I can't open doors
And my arms can't ever
Take the place of his
'Cause no other arms could ever
Take the place of yours
So what can I tell you
[Chorus]
Baby, didn't you know
You'd have to cry sometime
Didn't you know
You'd have to hurt sometime
Didn't you know
You'd have to lose your pride
Didn't anybody tell you
Love had another side
Another, 'nother, 'nother side

[Chorus/outro]
Oh, yes! Now didn't you know
Ooh, you'd have to cry sometime
Didn't anybody tell you
You'd have to hurt sometime
Didn't you know
Lose, lose your pride
Didn't anybody tell you love...
