It's All Over But The Crying
Hank Williams Jr. · Icon [2012]
In these past few days
For when I try to kiss you
You just push me away
Now I don't know what's wrong
But I don't see how we can go on
I think your love for me is dying
And it's all over but the crying
I called you on the phone
Just to find out what was wrong
And the thing you said
Made my suspicions real
You said tonight again
You had to stay with this sick friend
But that story I'm not buying
'Cause it's all over but the crying
It's all over but the crying
I never would have thought you were lying
It sounded so true when you said, "I love you"
Now I say my goodbying
'Cause it's all over but the crying
It's all over but the crying
It's All Over But The Crying
