Well, I've cried so much for you
Baby, that's nothing new
Well, I've cried so much for you
Sugar, that's nothing new
Well, I wish I had a dollar
For all the times I cried for you

Almost every night
I cry myself to sleep
Everybody else is so happy
I just weep, weep, weep

Oh, from the tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Lord, I wish just once
You would cry for me

Now, why do I remember?
How can I forget?
I wake up every morning
And my pillow is soaking wet

From these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Lord, I wish just once
You would cry for me
Now, where were you last night?
I cried all night long
The only way you do me, honey
Is wrong, wrong, wrong

From these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Lord, I wish just once
You would cry for me

Go ahead and cry for me, momma
