I Cry A Lot
Dave Dudley · Other Songs - Dave Dudley
be's how I used to be by a mile
I don't care as much don't need you as much and I'm starting to go out
But let me tell you I have this problem I cry a lot
And can't you feel when I call you anymore that I don't
sound as blue as before
You don't bother me and the truth is I have almost forgot
But let me tell you I have this problem I cry a lot
It's not as hard when I see our friends
And I tell them that the world didn't end for me
Do I miss you well yes and no but they say absence makes any love grow old
And I'm doing better now I think I'll make it I can take you as well as not
But let me tell you I have this problem I cry a lot
But let me tell you I have this problem I cry a lot
