Did You Ever Want to Cry Lyrics


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 nothing could go wrongRight, I know you did oh, you kid
Did you really think that she'll be true
Wasn't that rather naive of you?
And now she's dropped you like a worn-out shoeShe's got you drinking gin and you know that's a sin
You go honky-tonking every night
You get drunk and then you start a fight
I know that you think that it's alrightWrong, 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 kneesArms 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 late, too late to make amends
You've even lost your old time friendsEnemies glad to see you down people, they don't want you hanging 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Mamas & the Papas (credited as The Mama's and the Papa's on the debut album cover) were a leading vocal group of the 60s from New York. The group recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968, releasing five albums and charting ten hit singles that hold up as well today as they did back in the sunshine era. While spending relatively a short time in the realm of popular music, some group members have pointed to their short time in the spotlight as a reason why they still have loyal fans today.
