I Catch Myself Crying

Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller

It doesn't matter

One way or another

I say but I'm lying

I catch myself crying

There are fools, I was one

But it's over and done

And I'm trying

But I catch myself crying

I catch myself wondering

If you'll find somebody new

I catch myself wondering

If you're wondering, if I'll find somebody too

It doesn't matter

One way or another

I say but I'm lying

I catch myself crying

I catch myself wondering

If you'll find somebody new

I catch myself wondering

If you're wondering, if I'll find somebody too

It doesn't matter

One way or another

I say but I'm lying

I catch myself crying
