HOW MANY TEARS NOW DARLING
MUST A GIRL LET FALL
AND HOW MANY YEARS WILL IT TAKE
TO FORGIVE ME FOR IT ALL

YOU SEE WHEN I TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
I KNEW NOT JUST WHAT I'D DONE
I WAS A FOOL NOT TO SEE
THAT YOU WERE THE PERFECT ONE

I MADE SOME WRONG MOVES
THAT I WON'T DENY
WENT LOOKIN' FOR LOVE WHEN IT WAS
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES

SO NOW DON'T YOU GO AND TELL ME
THAT YOU FOUND SOMEBODY NEW
'CAUSE I TELL YOU THAT'S GONNA HURT ME
MORE THAN I COULD EVER HURT YOU

AND I'M GONNA CRY
LIKE A RAINY DAY
IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE A GOOD
THING SLIP AWAY
LATE AT NIGHT THAT'S WHEN I HOPE AND PRAY
THESE LONELY TEARS WILL WASH THE PAIN
AWAY
AND I'M GONNA CRY CRY CRY YEAH LIKE A
RAINY DAY

I'M GONNA GET IT TOGETHER
I'M GONNA TRY TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND
WRITE ALL DOWN IN A LETTER
OH AND TELL YOU ABOUT THIS BRAND NEW

REMEMBER THESE ARMS
HOW THEY HELD YOU THEN
MAN MARK MY WORDS
IT'S GONNA BE THAT WAY AGAIN

GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE
I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL BE TRUE
DON'T YOU WALK AWAY NOW
I'LL NEVER MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU

AND I'M GONNA CRY
LIKE A RAINY DAY
IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE A GOOD
THING SLIP AWAY
LATE AT NIGHT THAT'S WHEN I HOPE AND PRAY
THESE LONELY TEARS WILL WASH THE PAIN
AWAY
I'M GONNA CRY CRY CRY YEAH LIKE A RAINY
DAY
