CRY CRY CRY
Recorded by: Johnny Cash
Written by: Johnny Cash

[1] Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
I think you only live to see the [2] lights up-[5]-town
I [1] wasted my time when I would try, try, try
'Cause [4] when the lights have lost their glow
You'll [5] Cry, Cry, [1] Cry

[1] Soon your sugar daddies will all be gone
You'll wake up some cold day and [2] find you're a-[5]-lone
You'll [1] call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I [4] turn around and walk away you'll [5] Cry, Cry, [1] Cry

1st BRIDGE:
[1] You're gonna Cry, Cry, Cry and you'll cry alone
When [4] everyone's forgotten and you're [1] left on your own
You're gonna [5] Cry, Cry, [1] Cry

I lie awake at night to wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, you're gonna Cry, Cry, Cry

When your fickle love gets old no one will care for you
Then you'll come back to me for a little love that's true
I'll tell you NO! and you'll ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this, you'll Cry, Cry, Cry

2nd BRIDGE:
You're gonna Cry, Cry, Cry and you'll want me then
It'll hurt when you tbink of the fool you've been
You're gonna Cry, Cry, Cry
