A Little Bitty Tear Lyrics by Ray Charles

Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters

2010

[Chorus]
A little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
[Verse 1]
You said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow
That I'd laugh when you walked away
But you know what
[Chorus]
A little bitty tear let me down
It spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
[Verse 2]
I said I'd laugh when you left me
Pull a funny as you walked out the door
That I'd have another one waiting
And I'd wave goodbye as you go
But I lied
[Chorus]
A little bitty tear let me down
It spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
[Verse 3]
Everything went like I planned it
And I really put on quite a show
In my heart, I felt I could stand it
'Til you walked with your grip through the door
And then
[Chorus]
A little bitty tear let me down
It spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown, no
But a little bitty tear let me down
[Verse 4]
I tell myself it don't matter
I tell myself I don't care
And I tell myself to stop crying
But, darling, I need you here
'Cause you see
[Chorus]
A little bitty tear let me down
It spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
[Outro]
Girl, a little bitty tear let me down
I said a little bitty tear let me down
Yes, a little bitty tear let me down, mmm
