[Intro]
I, I, I, I cry
[Verse 1]
Well well well, I
Cry, cry, cry because you're gone
And I cannot carry, cannot carry on
Please come back where you belong
[Bridge]
Well, you said that maybe
If I cried every day
You'd come runnin' back to me
So now I sit and cry
I'm just about to die
Oh darling, how long will you be?
Ooh, ooh, ohh
[Verse 2]
I, I, I cry
Cry, cry, cry because you're gone
Please come back where you belong
Oh, I will not carry on
[Bridge]
Well, you said that maybe
If I cry every day
You'd come runnin' back to me
So now I sit and cry
I'm just about to die
Oh darling, how long will you be?
[Outro]
Ooh, I, I cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh yes I cry
Woah, yeah
Oh, don't you hear me cry?
I, I, I, I cry
[Verse 1]
Well well well, I
Cry, cry, cry because you're gone
And I cannot carry, cannot carry on
Please come back where you belong
[Bridge]
Well, you said that maybe
If I cried every day
You'd come runnin' back to me
So now I sit and cry
I'm just about to die
Oh darling, how long will you be?
Ooh, ooh, ohh
[Verse 2]
I, I, I cry
Cry, cry, cry because you're gone
Please come back where you belong
Oh, I will not carry on
[Bridge]
Well, you said that maybe
If I cry every day
You'd come runnin' back to me
So now I sit and cry
I'm just about to die
Oh darling, how long will you be?
[Outro]
Ooh, I, I cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh yes I cry
Woah, yeah
Oh, don't you hear me cry?
