I COULDN'T CRY IF I WANTED TO<br />

WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD, EDDIE HOLLAND<br />

<br />

You ask if I remembered, when we first met.<br />

Girl, tell me how could I ever forget<br />

There, you were standing there. Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair.<br />

Your beauty seem to hypnotize me. I had that feeling I was no longer free.<br />

But when I ask you for a dance. (For a dance)<br />

You wouldn't even give me a chance. (Me a chance)<br />

And it hurt me through and through. That was the first time I got over you.<br />

You had my heart dingling, Like a puppet on a string. To you I meant nothing, darling. But to me it meant everything.<br />

Girl, you know since then through the years. (Through the years)<br />

I've she'd so many tears. (So many tears)<br />

And all because of you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to.<br />

I don't know why I still love you.<br />

'Cause you don't even want me around.<br />

Year after year it's the same o' thing.<br />

You build me up, to let me down.<br />

So go on and hurt me. (Hurt me)<br />

Aw, like you did.<br />

This time it'll be different.<br />

Mmm, my tears you'll see no more.<br />

'Cause I've cried so through the years. (Through the years)<br />

Until I run out of tears. (Run out of tears)<br />

And all because of you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to.<br />

I'll never she'd another tear.<br />

I couldn't cry no more, darling.<br />

Seems as though the pain<br />

Have gone the tears from my eyes.<br />

Never cry, never.<br />

Never no more.<br />

I'll never she'd another tear.
