Don't Cry
Faith Evans · Other Songs - Faith Evans
Take just one look around me
tell me what you see
a reflection of a broken hearted memory
I tried so hard to do the best I could
you lied and now we've got to get this understood
Chorus:
Don't cry don't call me
I don't want you around me
who are you to judge me
I'm only what you made me
you should have took advantage
of every waking moment
but you thought you had time to waste
and you were so dead wrong uh huh
I tried so hard to do the best I could
you lied and now we've got to get this understood
chorus
don't cry don't call me
I don't want you around me
who are you to judge me?
I'm only what you made me
Bridge:
I don't want to see your tears
I don't want to hear your voice
Don't you know you made the choice
Boy you did me so wrong
Chorus til fade
tell me what you see
a reflection of a broken hearted memory
I tried so hard to do the best I could
you lied and now we've got to get this understood
Chorus:
Don't cry don't call me
I don't want you around me
who are you to judge me
I'm only what you made me
you should have took advantage
of every waking moment
but you thought you had time to waste
and you were so dead wrong uh huh
I tried so hard to do the best I could
you lied and now we've got to get this understood
chorus
don't cry don't call me
I don't want you around me
who are you to judge me?
I'm only what you made me
Bridge:
I don't want to see your tears
I don't want to hear your voice
Don't you know you made the choice
Boy you did me so wrong
Chorus til fade
