Koko Taylor - I Got What It Takes

That's Why I'm Crying

I walk the streets at night
With you on my mind
All I do
Is run around crying

And Oh baby
Baby, what is wrong
Someone told me
You ought to get your baby back home
stop Crying
Yeah yeah
I'm crying

You have someone new
But I'm still in love with you
That's why I'm crying
I'm cryin'

I went to some of the places
Where we used to go
Your friends all told me
You don't come around no mo

I looked over yonder
And guess who I see
I saw that same woman
That taken you away from me
That's why I'm crying
Yeah yeah
I'm crying

You have someone new
But I'm still in love with you
That's why I'm crying
I'm cryin'

(break) 6 bars

Oh baby, what is on your mind
let me tell you darlin
I've got to stop crying
and woah baby you know it's true
I let you get me wonderin'
am I still in love with you

That's why I'm crying
yeah yeah
I'm crying

You have someone new
but I'm still in love with you
that's why I'm crying I'm cryin
cryin, cryin, cryin,
early in the morning,
cryin, cryin
