Cryin' for Nothin'

I am a full grown fool

And I shoulda known better

But I tried and I tried

And I could not forgot her

I would go back to her

Time after time

Man I musta been out my mind.



All of that cryin' for nothing

All of that tryin' for nothing

What has it ever got me

What has it ever taught me?

I've got to keep believing

In something, baby

'Stead of just tryin' for nothing

Cryin' for nothing at all.

Well, we fought for love

And we fought for trust

And the whole blessed time

It was right there in front of us

We could not reach it

And I dont know why

It took so long just to say goodbye.



To all of that cryin' for nothing

To all of that tryin' for nothing

What has it ever got me

What has it ever taught me?

I've got to keep believeing

In something, baby

'Stead of just trying for nothing

Cryin' for nothing at all.



Well, her friends all told her

Mine told me

But we would not listen

Could not see

Need my pride

Her and her dreams

We never ever stood a chance it seems.
