I've heard you often speak my name
Ah, but, baby, things will never be the same
I've gone my way and you've gone yours
And all that remains is memories and words, yeah, well, well
Oh, the love we had can never be
But you know I want you and you still want me
Things for us could never be right
I still shed a tear when I think of you at night, oh-oh...

A tear in my eye
It's just a tiny tear
A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
Yeah, oh, yeah

Our worlds used to be the same
But things are different but neither was to blame
Time has caught us and we must see
That I can't have you and you can't have me, oh
Oh, but if you should someday pass me by
And happen to notice a tear in my eye, oh
Yeah, pay it no attention because it's only there
When I think about the love that we used to share, yeah, girl

A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
Just a tiny tear, well
A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
Pay it no attention, pay it no attention
A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
Oh, yeah
A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
Just a tiny tear, well, yeah
A tear in my eye, a tear in my eye
