You told me you don`t love me, when you walked out the door
I stood there feelin` lonely, then the tears began to pour
What else could I do, I`d never felt like that before
So I cried an ol` blue river in the middle of the floor
Now I`m up to my ears in tears
I`m cryin` night and day since you went away
The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear
The water`s cold and clear, I`m drownin` for you dear
Up to my ears in tears
Well I found some old love letters you wrote me years ago
But the words all ran together when the tears began to flow
`Cause you left that water runnin` now it`s got nowhere to go
If I can`t wash away your memory guess I`ll just go under slow
`Cause I`m up to my ears in tears
I`m cryin` night and day since you went away
The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear
The water`s cold and clear, I`m drownin` for you dear
Up to my ears in tears
Yeah I`m up to my ears in tears
I`m cryin` night and day since you went away
The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear
That water`s cold and clear, I`m drownin` for you dear
Up to my ears in tears
