Don't Let My Teardrops Bother You (Alternate Mix)
Supremes · The 70s Anthology [2002]
(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr./R. Wylie)
Don't let it
Teardrops bother you
Don't let it
Teardrops bother you
Don't let it
If I should shed a tear,
It's just the love I'm showing cause you're leaving here
If I should shed my pride,
It's just to show how much I love you so
And where you go, my love will be there with you
No matter where you are, or if you find someone new
Long ago, I reeled my life to you
And I can change my heart
Even though we'll be apart
Don't let my teardrops bother you
The reason I'm crying is I can't believe we're through
Oh, don't let my teardrops bother you
If you must leave me, do what you gotta do
[INTERLUDE]
Don't let it
No, no, no, no
Don't let it
If I should beg and plead, ooo...
It's just because of the love and the need I have for you
If I should stall for time,
It's just because I prayed that you changed your mind
And maybe find there's something you're leaving behind
And maybe then you'll see where you've been blind
But if someone has managed to erase me
And if she's what you want (if she's what you want)
If she's what you want to replace me
Don't let my teardrops bother you
The reason I'm crying is I can't believe we're through
Don't let it
Don't let my teardrops bother you
If you must leave me, do what you gotta do
Don't let my teardrops bother you
The reason I'm crying is I can't believe we're through
Don't let it
Don't let my teardrops bother you
If you must leave me, do what you gotta do
Don't let my teardrops bother you
The reason I'm crying is I can't believe we're through
Don't let it
Don't let my teardrops bother you
If you must leave me, do what you gotta do
Don't let it
Teardrops bother you
