Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
I think you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try try try
when the lights have lost their glow you're gonna cry cry cry

I lie awake at night, awake till you come in
you stay a little while and then you're gone again
every question that I ask, I get a lie lie lie
for every lie you tell you're gonna cry cry cry

You're gonna cry cry cry and you'll cry alone
when everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own
you're gonna cry cry cry

Soon your sugar daddies will all be gone
you'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone
you'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye bye bye
when I turn around and walk away you'll cry cry cry

When your fickle love gets old no one will care for you
then you'll come back to me for a little love that's true
I'll tell you no and you're gonna ask me why why why
when I remind you of all of this you'll cry cry cry

You're gonna cry cry cry and you want me then
it'll hurt when you think what a fool you've been
you're gonna cry cry cry
