Tears Of Joy

Lucinda Williams · Little Honey [2008]

Uprooted and restless, I paid the cost



I've been a mess, misguided and lost



But I've been so blessed since our paths have crossed



That's why I'm crying tears of joy



In my own little world since I was sixteen



Little miss playgirl making a scene



Then you took this girl and you made her your queen



That's why I'm crying tears of joy



I used to play games with my boyfriends



Fashion and fame, hip little trends



Now I have a real man, don't have to pretend



And that's why I'm crying tears of joy



I'll be your woman, be your everything



You be my baby, you be my king



You give my life meaning that's why I wear your ring



And why I'm crying tears of joy



And that's why I'm crying tears of joy



That's why I'm crying tears of joy
