Too Many Tears

David Coverdale · Other Songs - David Coverdale

I used to be the man for you

Did everything you wanted me to

So tell me baby

Where did I do wrong



I told you what you wanted to know

Precious secrets never spoken before

All I'm asking

Where did I go wrong



Some things are better left unsaid

But, all I do is cry instead

Now, I've cried me a river

Thinking how it used to be



There've been too many tears falling

And there've been too many hearts breaking in two

Remember what we had together

Believing it would last forever

So tell me baby

Where did I go wrong



Everything I had was yours

More than I have ever given before

So won't you tell me

Did I hurt you so bad



I guess I'm fooling myself

'Cause I want you and no one else

And I can't understand

Why you're doing these things to me



There've been too many tears falling

And there've been too many hearts breaking in two

Remember what we had together

Believing it would last forever

So tell me baby

Where did I go wrong, where did I go wrong



Now my heart is breaking

My whole world is shaking

'Cause I can't understand

Why you're doing these things to me



There've been too many tears falling

And there've been too many hearts breaking in two

Remember what we had together

Believing it would last forever

So tell me baby

Where did I go wrong



Won't you tell me baby, where did I go wrong

Won't you tell me baby, where did I go wrong

Where did I go wrong
