96 Tears lyrics

Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on

You're way on top now
Since you left me
Youre always laughin'
Way down at me
But watch out now
I'm gonna get there
We'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
And you'll start cryin'
96 tears
Cry, cry

And when the sun comes up I'll be on top

Alright
I wanna tell you 'bout a story 'bout girl from the railroad tracks, yeah
I wanna tell you 'bout a girl that lives by the railroad tracks, aw
She's so fine, she's mine all mine
And that's no lie, yeah

I'm gonna take her to a dance, do the belly
Up and down, all night long
I'm gonna dance to the midnight hour
And baby that's no lie, oh no
She's so fine, she's mine all mine

Alright, yeah, c'mon now, that's right child, yeah, alright
I need somebody to help me out
I need somebody to work it out
C'mon and help me
C'mon and help me
I need somebody to work it out, yeah yeah, alright

I have a love, oh so strong
I have a love, can't go wrong
I need somebody to help me out
I need somebody just like you
Whoo!

I need somebody to help me out

Stayed away too long and I'm wonderin' why
Thought of all the reasons to make you change your mind
Thought of all the things that we did in the past
And still I'm wonderin' baby did I went too fast

I had eighteen arms to hold you
I had eighteen lips to kiss you
I had eighteen ways to love you
And still I'm wonderin' why you left me

Alright baby, c'mon back

I gotta love so bad
I gotta love so kind
I gotta love that's mine
And baby that's no lie
A gotta love baby
Gotta love baby
I gotta love so bad
And baby that's no lie
Gotta love yeah
Gotta love baby
Gotta love now
Gotta love baby

I gotta love so true
I gotta love so right
I gotta love so kind
And baby's that's no lie
Gotta love baby
Gotta love baby
I gotta love so bad

Don't break this heart of mine
Just a-leave me alone
Don't tell me all those lies that I done heard before
Don't come around anymore just a-leave me alone
I got one heart and baby I can't take no more, yeah

Alright, look here, yeah

You came around when I was sad and blue
Thought you had love that was so true
I put you down and you put my aside

Ten o'clock and it's too late babe
You missed the train now you're name's erased
My little blck book that held your name
Now holds another girl in place

Ten o'Clock and it's too late babe
You missed your train now you're name's erased
Called me up tryin' to save your heart
You thought too big, now you love too long

Aw, ten o'clock but it's too late baby

Left me this morning thought I had you the rest of my life
Thought we had a good thing that would last a very long time

Why me? (Why me?)
Why me? (Why me?)

We had a very good thing girl
We had a very good thing girl
You better come on back
So we can have this good thing girl

Why me? (Why me?)
Why me? (Why me?)

We had this very good thing girl
We had this very good thing girl

You're telling me lies
You're putting me down
You're starting to make me cry
Your told me this morning
You love me so
But still I know you lie

You better stop girl
You better stop now

You're telling me lies
You're putting me down
You're starting to make me cry

You better stop
You better stop girl

You're telling me lies
You're putting me down
You're starting to make me cry

You put me under your skin
And I need you right now
Told me before you'd never put me down
But you lied to me
Now you're runnin' around
You got me under your skin
And I need you right now

Girl, please don't tease me
Girl, please don't tease me
Girl, please don't tease me

You got me under your skin
And I need you right now
Told me before you'll never put me down
