I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry (Over You)
Elvis Presley · Elvis Presley
IÂ’m gonna sit right down and cry over you
And if you say good-bye
If you ever even try
IÂ’m gonna sit right down and cry over you
IÂ’m gonna love you more and more every day
IÂ’m gonna love you more and more in every way
And if you say good-bye
If you ever even try
IÂ’m gonna sit right down and cry over you
IÂ’m gonna tell my mama tell my papa too
So theyÂ’ll know exactly what IÂ’m gonna do
And if you say good-bye
Say if you ever even try
