Crying Won’t Help You Now Lyrics by Clyde McPhatter

0

No no no no no no
(Crying won't help you down)
No no no no
(Crying won't help you down)
No no no
(Crying won't help you down)
No no no no no
(Crying won't help you down)
There you stand
In the same old place
Tears a-streaming down your face
But this time baby
I want you to know
Tears or not, you just gotta go
Because now
(Crying won't help you down)
No no no no no
(Crying won't help you down)
But there was a time
You had cried
I would have laid down my life and died
But now I'm glad
That I can see
You just use your tears to make a fool of me
And that's why I say now
(Crying won't help you down)
So many years
(Crying won't help you down)
Now when I see tears in your eyes
It just reminds me of all your lies
But I'm so tired now of being your fool
From now on baby, I want to be as cold cruel
(Crying won't help you down)
Go on and cry
(Crying won't help you down)
No no no no no no no no no
(Crying won't help you down)
Go on and cry
(Crying won't help you down)
No no no
(Crying won't help you down)
No no
(Crying won't help you down)
