Ev'ry body knows where you go when the sun goes down.

I think you only live to see the lights uptown.

I wasted my time when I would try, try, try.

A B7 E

'Cause when the lights have lost their glow you'll cry, cry, cry.

Soon you're sugar daddies will all be gone.

You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone.

You'll call for me, but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye.

When I turn around and walk away you'll cry, cry, cry.

[Chorus]

You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone.

When ev'ryone's forgotten and you're left on your own

you're gonna cry, cry, cry.

I lie awake at night to wait till you come in.

You stay a little while and then you're gone again.

Ev'ry question that I ask I get a lie, lie, lie.

A B7 E

For ev'ry lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry.

When your fickle love gets old no one will care for you.

Then you'll come back to me for a little love that's true.

I'll tell you no, and then you'll ask me "why, why, why?"

A B7 E

When I remind you of all of this you'll cry, cry, cry.

[Chorus]

You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll want me then.

A E

It'll hurt when you think of the fool you've been

B7 E

you're gonna cry, cry, cry.
