[Verse 1]
I ain't gonna be the first to cry
Even though you had the last laugh on me
I ain’t gonna be the first to cry
Even though you had the last laugh on me
You're just a link in my chain
Someone else will ease this misery

[Verse 2]
I ain't gonna be the lonely one
Someone will chase the clouds away
I ain’t gonna be the lonely one
Lord, someone will end this rainy day
It's just a matter of time
And time is all I got since you went away

[Bridge]
Lord

[Verse 3]
I ain't gonna let the teardrops fall, oh no
They could never wash away this pain
I ain't gonna let the teardrops fall, oh no
Lord, even though you turned my love into a game
There's just one thing that you should know
You'll be sorry some day
[Verse 1]
I ain't gonna be the first to cry, Lord
Even though you had the last laugh on me
I ain't gonna be the first to cry
Even though you had the last laugh on me
You’re just a link in my chain
Lord, someone will ease this misery

[Outro]
Oh, Lord
Somebody
Ooh
Mm-hmm
No, I won’t be the first to give in
I ain't gon’ do it
You can't make me do it
Oh, no
