I Cried My Last Tear, Last Night

Lisa Stansfield · Lisa Stansfield [1997]

Yesterday thought my world was over

Yesterday when you said good-bye

Thought I'd spend my whole life just crying

Hurting inside

Oh but you know that...



I decided to pull my heart together

And chase your face from my mind

From this day on all the hurt is gone

I'll be fine



I cried my last tear last night baby

And I'm not gonna cry,

never never gonna cry

I'm not gonna cry no more

I cried my last tear last night baby

And one thing it true

Won't be crying over you

Never again



I remember the pain you caused me

I remember the nights I cried

Now I'm gonna forget you baby

Push you right out of my mind

Oh don't you know that...



I decided to find same better weather

And chase that rain right out of my sky

I'm all through being sad and blue

Tell you why...



I cried my last tear last night baby

And I'm not gonna cry,

never never gonna cry

I'm not gonna cry no more

I cried my last tear last night baby

And one thing it true

Won't be crying over you

Never again



If you think I'll be broken hearted

Think it's time that you think again

'Cos this time I won't sit here waiting

Waiting here for the tears to end

Baby I refuse to be blue one more minute over you



And one thing is true

Won't be crying over you



I cried my last tear last night baby

And I'm not gonna cry,

never never gonna cry

I'm not gonna cry no more

I cried my last tear last night baby

And one thing it true

Won't be crying over you

Never again



If you think I'll be broken hearted

Think it's time that you think again

'Cos this time I won't sit here waiting

Waiting here for the tear, to end

Baby I refuse to be blue one more minute over you



And one thing is true

Won't be crying over you



I cried my last tear last night baby

And I'm not gonna cry,

never never gonna cry

I'm not gonna cry no more

I cried my last tear last night baby

And one thing it true

Won't be crying over you

Never again
