Cry for Me Baby
Well, I've cried so much for you
Baby, there's nothing new
Yes, I've cried so much for you
Baby, there's nothing new
Well, I wish I had a dollar
For every tear I've cried for you
Almost every night
I cry myself to sleep
Everybody else so happy
But I'll just weep, weep, weep
Lord, these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Lord, I wish just once
Baby, you would cry for me
Well, where were you last night?
I cried the whole night long
The only way you do me, baby
Is wrong, wrong, wrong
Lord, these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Well, I wish just once
Baby, you would cry for me
Oh, how do I remember?
How can I forget?
I wake up every morning
The pillow soaking wet
From these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Lord, I wish just once
Baby, you would cry for me
