How many tears now darling Must a man let fall? And how many years will it take To forgive me for it all? You see when I took you for granted I knew not just what I had done But I was a fool not to see That you were the perfect one I've made some wrong moves That I won't deny Went looking for love When it was right before my eyes Now don't you come and tell me That you've found somebody new 'Cause I know it's gonna hurt me More than I could ever hurt you And I'm gonna cry like a rainy day It's just that I I don't want to see a good thing slip away Late at night, that's when I hope and pray That these lonely tears Will wash my pain away And I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry Like a rainy day Well I'm gonna get it together I'm gonna try to make you understand Put it all down in a letter Oh, and tell you about this brand new man Remember these arms How they held you in But girl, mark my words It's gonna be that way again Now give me one more chance I swear to God I'll be true But don't you walk away now I'll never make it without you And I'm gonna cry like a rainy day It's just that I I don't want to see a good thing slip away Late at night, well that's when I hope and pray That these lonely tears Will wash my pain away And I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry, yeah Like a rainy day I'm gonna cry
