Let Me Make You Cry a Little Longer
You know by now that I've been passed
Through an awful lot of hands
And all I have is what is left
From ten thousand one night stands
Sometimes I feel like I was there
When the blues began
With this crying guitar holding me
Like a woman holds a man
Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you high a little longer
Oh, I want to try a little longer
Make some woman sigh a little longer
At night sometimes I can still feel
Every place I've ever been
I feel it in my music
And it all comes back again
You know I've played for city lights
And for stars above
And every note I've ever played
I always played for love
Let me make you cry a little longer (let me make you)
Let me make you high a little longer (let me make you)
Oh, I want to try a little longer (let me make you)
Make some woman sigh a little longer (let me make you)
Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you sigh a little longer
Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you sigh a little longer
You know I've played for city lights
And for stars above
And every note I've ever played
I always played for love
Let me make you cry a little longer (let me make you)
Let me make you high a little longer (let me make you)
Oh, I want to try a little longer (let me make you)
Make some woman sigh a little longer (let me make you)
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Through an awful lot of hands
And all I have is what is left
From ten thousand one night stands
Sometimes I feel like I was there
When the blues began
With this crying guitar holding me
Like a woman holds a man
Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you high a little longer
Oh, I want to try a little longer
Make some woman sigh a little longer
At night sometimes I can still feel
Every place I've ever been
I feel it in my music
And it all comes back again
You know I've played for city lights
And for stars above
And every note I've ever played
I always played for love
Let me make you cry a little longer (let me make you)
Let me make you high a little longer (let me make you)
Oh, I want to try a little longer (let me make you)
Make some woman sigh a little longer (let me make you)
Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you sigh a little longer
Let me make you cry a little longer
Let me make you sigh a little longer
You know I've played for city lights
And for stars above
And every note I've ever played
I always played for love
Let me make you cry a little longer (let me make you)
Let me make you high a little longer (let me make you)
Oh, I want to try a little longer (let me make you)
Make some woman sigh a little longer (let me make you)
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
Let me make you
