Why Do You Cry lyrics

D. Vaughn, M. Clayton, B. St.James, J. Kennedy)

One night my girl got restless, said `We never go out no more`
I said, `I work too hard for dancing`, said she didn`t and slammed the door
That girl she done me murder, and her getaway was clean
I wonder why did she cry, when it`s me that`s getting mean?

I swore I wouldn`t follow, but my pride got the best of me
When I found her in his arms, they were all that I could see
Now some say love is blind, it must be crazy from the heat
Tell me why do you cry, when it`s him lying in the street?

Chorus:
Tell me now why do you cry? Baby, what can the matter be?
Was that teardrop in your eye just for me?
Tell me now why do you cry? Ain`t you got what you waited for?
You can cry out your eyes alone, forevermore

Yeah yeah yeah, mmmmm

Looks like the sky is falling, falling down on me
I`m like Adam caught red handed, right beneath that old apple tree
Now she got what she wanted, and I got ten to life
Tell me why do you cry, when it`s me holding the knife?

(chorus)

(Solo)

(chorus)

Meanwhile, I was still thinkin`
