Lyrics
Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on
You're way out on top now
Since you left me
You're always laughin'
Way down at me
So watch out now
'Cause I'm gonna get there
And we'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here, yeah
And you'll start cryin'
(Cry, cry, cry) 96 tears (96 tears)
Cry (cry, cry, cry)
Cry (cry, cry, cry)
96 tears
And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
And you'll be right down there
Lookin' up
And I might wave
Come up here
But I don't see you
Wavin' now
I'm way down here
Wonderin' how
I'm gonna get you
But I know now
I'll just try (try, try, try) try
I'll just try (try, try, try)
Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on
You're gonna cry 96 tears (96 tears)
You're gonna cry 96 tears (96 tears)
You'll just cry (cry, cry, cry) cry
You'll just cry 96 tears (96 tears)
(Cry, cry, cry) cry, cry, cry
96 tears (96 tears)
You're gonna cry 96 tears (96 tears)
I'm gonna cry (cry, cry, cry) cry
You're gonna cry (cry, cry, cry)
96 tears (96 tears)
96 tears (96 tears)
(Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
96 tears
Cry, cry, cry...)
