[Verse 1]
Here it is again
Friday night, everyone is laughing
Carrying on, going out
Having a ball
But I stay at home
Waiting by a phone that never rings
Surrounded by memories and all your things

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Oh, yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Oh, yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
'Til my tears run dry

[Verse 2]
I know that you're out having fun
Cheating on me
Telling pretty lies
Making her promises now
You don't think of me
You don't care about what's happening here
Every time you kiss her, I cry a tear

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Oh, yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Oh, yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
'Til my tears run dry

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
You don't think of me
You don't care about what's happening here
Every time you kiss her, I cry a tear

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Oh, yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
Oh, yes, I'm gonna cry (Yes, I'm gonna cry)
'Til my tears run dry

[Outro]
Yes, I'm, yes, I'm gonna cry
Guess I'm, guess I'm gonna cry
Yes, I'm, yes, I'm gonna cry
I guess I'm, guess I'm gonna cry
Yes, I'm, yes, I'm gonna cry
I guess I'm, guess I'm gonna cry
