The Mamas & Papas - Did You Ever Want To Cry

Did you ever want to cry
But you didn't know just why
Did you ever sit up all night long
Just listening to that same old song
The one they played when she said nothin' could go wrong
Right, I know you did oh, you kid
Did you really think that she'd be true
Wasn't that rather naive of you
And now she's dropped you like a worn out shoe

She's got you drinking gin
And you know that's a sin
You go honky tonkin' every night
You get drunk and then you start a fight
I know that you think that it's alright
Wrong, it's not the way to live you only get what you give
You can live your life just as you please
But, when you lie with dogs, you gotta get fleas
And now she's brought you down to your knees
Arms that used to hold you tight
You miss them in the middle of night
You burned a candle at both ends
Now it's too latetoo late to make amends
You've even lost your old time friends

Enemies glad to see you down
People, they don't want you hangin' round
Did you ever want to cry
But you didn't know just why
Right, I know you did
Wrong, it's not the way to live
Did you ever want to cry
Did you ever want to cry
But you didn't know just why
Did you ever sit up all night long
Just listening to that same old song
The one they played when she said nothin' could go wrong
Right, I know you did oh, you kid
Did you really think that she'd be true
Wasn't that rather naive of you
And now she's dropped you like a worn out shoe

She's got you drinking gin
And you know that's a sin
You go honky tonkin' every night
You get drunk and then you start a fight
I know that you think that it's alright
Wrong, it's not the way to live you only get what you give
You can live your life just as you please
But, when you lie with dogs, you gotta get fleas
And now she's brought you down to your knees
Arms that used to hold you tight
You miss them in the middle of night
You burned a candle at both ends
Now it's too latetoo late to make amends
You've even lost your old time friends

Enemies glad to see you down
People, they don't want you hangin' round
Did you ever want to cry
But you didn't know just why
Right, I know you did
Wrong, it's not the way to live
