I'm Gonna Cry (If You Quit Me)

Well, all my life, I've been real strong

I ain't never been hurt when things go wrong

I'm hard as a rock, and I'm just as tough

I don't play and I don't bluff

But I'm gonna cry

I'm gonna cry

I'm gonna cry

If you quit me

Yeah baby, if you quit me

Whoa baby, if you quit me

Yeah

I've succeeded in all I've tried

When trouble comes, I never hide

I can run through the jungle, kill a lion with a switch

Everybody knows I'm a-bad as I can be

But I'm gonna cry, baby

I'm gonna cry

I'm gonna cry

If you quit me

Oh baby, if you quit me

Whoa baby, if you quit me

Yeah, if you quit me

Well, I'll fight a bear in the forest or a shark in the sea

A tiger in a cage and a ape in a tree

Get in the ring with Patterson and I won't run

I used to beat up the cops just for fun

But I'm gonna cry, baby

I'm gonna cry, baby

I'm gonna cry

If you quit me

Oh baby, if you quit me

Oh honey, so don't you quit me

I may, I may be rough

And I may, I may be tough

But I'm gonna cry

If you quit me, yeah

If you quit me
