Everyday I Have to Cry

Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee

There was a little boy I had planned to marry

This was my love I didn't want to share it

I thought the love would make my love bright and sunny

He said he couldn't love cause he didn't have no money.



Everyday I have to cry some

Everyday I have to cry some

dry the water from my eyes some

Everyday I have to cry.



I had me a boy, I guess I really loved him

Every night I have to cry- thinking of him

But you can't mix love and money

'Cause if you do it's going to hurt somebody.



Everyday I have to cry some

Everyday I have to cry some

dry the water from my eyes some

Everyday I have to cry.



Lord, I know that he's just a fool now

But is it wrong to love if he ain't fit now

Every time you mix love with money

Every time you know it hurts somebody.



Everyday I have to cry some

Everyday I have to cry some

Dry the water from my eyes some

Everyday I have to cry.



Everyday I have to cry some

Everyday I have to cry some

Dry the water from my eyes some

Everyday I have to cry...
