Don't Cry No More

You know, my old man came to me the other day

And told me he was leaving

He said he didn't love me no more

And he found somebody else to take my place

What hurt me so bad, he told me she was a young woman

That made him feel like he was 16 again

With tears in my eyes, I begged the man, don't leave me

I said, "After all we've been through each other

How can you walk away from me?"

He said, "Honey, my love for you has just grown cold"

So with a hung down head and tears in my eyes

I watched the man walk away from me

But it didn't take too long, 'cause about two weeks later

The man came back to me with tears in his eyes

Begging me to please take him back

I said, "What's the matter with that woman that makes you feel like you were 16?"

He said, "After I got with her, the woman changed on me"

He said, "Things wasn't like they used to be"

I said, "You know, when y'all was messing around

And sneaking around behind my back

She didn't get a chance to know about those

Bad habits and how hard you are to live with

You see, she didn't know nothing about that bad, bad breath

Coming out of your mouth every morning

She didn't know about them stanky pro-wains

You put under the bed every night

But you see, I found out a long time ago

A little eye salt and a little blister salt would kill funky feet

And I found out that a little bit of Dr. Tisner's would kill funky breath"

I said, "Yes, go on back where you came from"

But as the man turned to walk out the door

I looked at those tears in his eyes

And I started to think about how the man used to love me all night long

I thought about how nobody

Had ever made me feel the way he made me feel

I said, baby, I said, baby

I said, baby, don't cry no more

Wipe away your tears

Don't cry no more, baby

Wipe away your tears

I know, I know that your love is real

Hey, hey, uh

Don't cry, don't cry

I'm begging you

Don't cry no more baby

I'm begging you

I know, I know that your love is true

Hey, baby (no, don't you cry)

All right (no, don't you cry)

Hey, baby (no, don't you cry)

Oh, yeah (no, don't you cry)

You can cry me the river

You can cry me the sea

But love me without a doubt

If you really, really, really love me

Don't cry no more

Wipe away your tears

Don't cry no more, baby

Wipe away your tears

I know, I know that your love is real

Hey, baby (no, don't you cry)

Don't have to cry baby (no, don't you cry)

C'mon (no, don't you cry)

Walk on in (no, don't you cry)

You don't have to cry baby (no, don't you cry)

C'mon (no, don't you cry)

Come on in (no, don't you cry)

You don't have to cry (no, don't you cry)

I still love you (no, don't you cry)

I still need you (no, don't you cry)

I still want you, baby (no, don't you cry)

Come on (no, don't you cry)

I'll take you (no, don't you cry)

And your fucking feet (no, don't you cry)

I'll take you (no, don't you cry)

And your fucking breath (no, don't you cry)

Come on in, baby (no, don't you cry)

I still love you (no, don't you cry)

I still need you (no, don't you cry)

I still want you, baby (no, don't you cry)

You don't have to cry no more (no, don't you cry)

Someone tells you (no, don't you cry)...
