Go Down on Your Knees

Oh baby, oh woman

You've got to go down on your knees and cry me a river

You’ve got to go down on your knees and cry me sea

For ever since the world began

Man was always hurt by woman

That is why, that is why you’ve got to cry

You’ve got to go down on your knees and hurt yourself, girl

You’ve got to break your heart the same way you broke mine

Then maybe you will realize the way I’ve been hurting inside

That is why, that is why you’ve got to cry

Woman, you're the most ungrateful person I've ever met

And now you leave me here alone to regret

But just because he's treated you unkind

The first person was on your mind was I

That is why you gonna cry (Oh baby)

Oh, I know you got to cry, baby

I want you to cry me a river of tears, darling

You’ve got to go down on your knees and cry me a river

You’ve got to go down on your knees and cry me a sea

Ever since the world began, woman always wanna rule man

That is why, that is why you got to cry

I'm telling you, baby, so long

I know you got to cry, so hear me, you got to cry

Cry, cry, cry, baby, oh Lord, I know you gonna cry me a river
