I Couldn't Cry If I Wanted To
You ask if I remembered, when we first met
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget?
There you were standing there
Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair
Your beauty seemed to hypnotize me
I had that feeling I was no longer free
But when I ask you for a dance (for a dance)
You wouldn't even give me a chance (me a chance)
And it hurt me through and through
That was the first time I got over you
You had my heart dingling
Like a puppet on a string
To you I meant nothing, darling
But to me it meant everything
Girl, you know since then through the years (through the years)
I've shed so many tears (so many tears)
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to (couldn't cry)
I don't know why I still love you
'Cause you don't even want me around
Year after year it's the same old thing
You build me up, to let me down
So go on and hurt me (hurt me)
Aw, like you did
This time it'll be different
Mmm, my tears you'll see no more
'Cause I've cried this all through the years (through the years)
Until I run out of tears (run out of tears)
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to (couln't cry if I wanted to)
I'll never shed another tear
I couldn't cry no more, darling
Seems as though the pain
Has gone the tears from my eyes
And I never cry, no (I never cry, never cry)
Never cry, never
Never no more
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget?
There you were standing there
Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair
Your beauty seemed to hypnotize me
I had that feeling I was no longer free
But when I ask you for a dance (for a dance)
You wouldn't even give me a chance (me a chance)
And it hurt me through and through
That was the first time I got over you
You had my heart dingling
Like a puppet on a string
To you I meant nothing, darling
But to me it meant everything
Girl, you know since then through the years (through the years)
I've shed so many tears (so many tears)
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to (couldn't cry)
I don't know why I still love you
'Cause you don't even want me around
Year after year it's the same old thing
You build me up, to let me down
So go on and hurt me (hurt me)
Aw, like you did
This time it'll be different
Mmm, my tears you'll see no more
'Cause I've cried this all through the years (through the years)
Until I run out of tears (run out of tears)
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to (couln't cry if I wanted to)
I'll never shed another tear
I couldn't cry no more, darling
Seems as though the pain
Has gone the tears from my eyes
And I never cry, no (I never cry, never cry)
Never cry, never
Never no more
