It’s My Turn
[Verse 1]
Ooh... I've lived my life like a fool
Well, I've done way too much wrong
Now you're gone (now you're gone, gone, gone)
And it's surely my own fault
Please, show some mercy, I was such a fool
(He made his baby cry) yes, I did
(There was no reason why) there just was no reason
(Oh no) to make my baby cry (gone, gone)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I... (you gotta cry some, you gotta cry some)
(You gotta cry some too) oh baby, yeah

[Chorus]
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry

[Verse 2]
Once it was my turn to be the kind of man I should
The wrong things influenced my better judgement then
Whoa, sweet love, gentle kindness I took for granted
Yeah yeah, somebody (somebody)
Made me look in the wrong direction
What a fool I was, I was such a fool
[Pre-Chorus]
And I... (you gotta cry some, you gotta cry some)
(You gotta cry some too) oh baby, yeah

[Chorus]
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry

[Verse 3]
When you got the word about my other love affair
I know I hurt you, baby, I was so unfair
(He made his baby cry) yeah (there was no reason why)
Now I'm sorry (I'm sorry), I was such a fool (I'm sorry now)
Yes I am, what a fool I was

[Pre-Chorus]
And I... (you gotta cry some, you gotta cry some)
(You gotta cry some too)

[Chorus]
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
My turn to shed some tears, my turn to cry
[Verse 4]
I saw you the other day, shopping with another man
Ooh, you looked real good, think I saw a diamond on your hand
With all my might, I could not fight the tears from my eyes
I'm crying, a grown man crying... (I'm crying now)
Yes I am, what a fool I was

[Outro]
Now it's my turn (my turn), my turn to cry
It's my turn, my turn to cry (cry...)
Now it's my turn (my turn), my turn to cry
It's my turn (my turn), my turn to cry (cry...)
