I Count The Tears

Irma Thomas · 50th Anniversary Celebration [2009]

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

I sit and count the tears



I have counted everyday since you've been away

It seems like a thousand years



And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

I sit and count the tears



And I have counted all your lies, all your alibis

Now, I'm a girl, believes just what she hears



And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

I sit and count the tears



He's gone and found somebody new

She may be happy now but soon

She'll be counting everyday that he's been away

And it will seem like a thousand years



And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

She'll sit and count the tears



She'll sit and count the tears

She'll sit and count the tears



Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
