Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
I'd like to tell you something all about
the good and the bad.
I wish today the world,
my friends,
would stop being sad.
There's so much evil around us.
I feel that I could die.
And I know, yeah, that I was born to cry.
Well, if I ever told you all about
the things I have done,
I can't remember having even one day of fun.
I don't know what I'm doing, if I do it's a lie.
But I know that I was born to cry, yeah, cry.
I said cry.
Oh, yeah, cry.
Oh, yeah.
I said cry.
Oh, yeah, cry.
Oh, yeah.
Well,
every girl I ever loved always stepped right on my feet.
I thought I had a friend
once, but he kicked out my teeth.
The things I like and want to have,
I can't even buy.
I know,
yeah, that I was born to cry.
Well,
I know someday and maybe soon that master will call.
And when he does, I'll tell you something.
I won't cry.
Oh,
until it happens,
folks,
I'll sail with that tide.
And I know that I was born to cry.
Well, I said cry.
Oh, yeah, cry.
Oh, yeah,
cry.
I said, I don't you know that I was born to cry.
Well, I cry, cry, cry, cry.
Yeah,
well,
I know someday and maybe soon that master will call.
And when he does, I'll tell you something.
I won't cry at all.
Until it happens,
folks,
I guess I'll sail with the tide.
And I know
that I was born to cry.
