When the one you love don't love no more
And walks right out, right out the door
Where do you begin? Where do you start?
To replace the pieces of your broken heart
And as much as you try to hold your head high
Ooh, ooh

Don't it make you cry?
Don't it make you cry?
Don't it make you cry?
And I say yes, it does

When the one you need don't need for you
And has found other things they'd rather do
Doesn't it hurt you
When someone deserts you?
Oh, baby

When they want to go
And they leave you alone
Ooh
Even though you're strong enough
To get back up on your own
Ooh, oh, baby

Don't it make you cry?
Don't it make you cry?
Don't it make you cry?
When the one that you love
Don't love you
When the one that you love
Doesn't care about you anymore
Oh yeah
Don't it make you cry?
Don't it make you cry?
Ooh, ooh
Don't it make you cry?
Oh, ooh

A fine time for healing
When one's love for you has died
And you've been denied
Oh, oh, oh
But love and life's a gamble
And once you roll the dice
You must pay the price, oh

Don't it make you cry?
Oh, baby, don't it make you cry?
Don't it make you cry?
And I say yes, it does
Ooh

Don't it make you cry?
Don't it make you cry?
Ooh, don't it make you cry?
Ooh, mmm
