Artist/Band: Wanda Jackson
Lyrics for Song: If I Cried Every Time You Hurt Me
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits [1990]



(Harlan Howard)



If I'd cry every time you hurt me

I'd be cryin' all the time

If I made a scene each time you were mean

We'd be quarrellin' all the time.



But I don't cry and I don't get mad

I try to take the good with the bad

If I'd cry every time you hurt me

I'd be cryin' all the time.



--- Instrumenrtal ---



Now and then you say you love me

I try to believe you do

Then you turn right around and hurt me

Like I was nothing to you.



But I love you so and I'll stay somehow

my tears won't flow and my head won't bow

If I'd cry every time you hurt me

I'd be cryin' all the time...
