A Tear from a Woman’s Eyes Lyrics by The Temptations

Emperors Of Soul

1986

[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks]
I saw the saddest thing the other day
When an old man passed my way
Walking the streets so all alone
All because he had no home
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
But the saddest thing I've ever seen
Is a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks]
I saw a man, no shoes on his feet
But the saddest thing is to see a woman weep
A woman is a tender thing
To see her cry, a sad, sad thing
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Nothing touches me deeper inside
Than a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks]
A woman's tears dropping on her cheek
It's like the sound of thunder that loudly speaks
'Cause when I see her cry
I know she hurts inside
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Yes, the saddest thing I've ever seen
Is a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
[Outro: Eddie Kendricks]
A sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye
A sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry
A sad, sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye
A sad, sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry
