I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

Every road has a turning
And that's one thing you're learning

I cried for you
Oh what a fool I used to be

But I've found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
And that's one thing you're learning

I cried for you
Oh what a fool I used to be

But I've found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I found god
Just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
