Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's another sleepless night without you, girl
Things didn't turn out right, time to move on
[Verse 2]
Every night the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness, long after
You're tears are dry, I'll be crying overtime
[Verse 3]
Life just seems so cold with a lonely heart, oh-whoa
But it's so hard to let go of the love I feel for you
For every night the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness, until I
Get you off my mind, I'll be crying overtime
[Verse 4]
Every night the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness, until I
Get you off my mind, I'll be crying
[Verse 5]
See that I'm crying
Yes, yes, I'm crying, baby, yeah, for you
Can't you see that I, can't you see that I need
I need me a woman? I need you there, oh, babe
[Verse 6]
Come inisde with me, girl, oh
Oh, overtime, overtime
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You're makin' me sweeter, baby
And I don't think you're hearin' me at all
Understand, just say, oh, understand, girl, oh, sugar, oh-whoa
Whoa, no, no, don't go
And I'm cryin' for you, girl, yeah, yeah
No, no, no, no
It's you, you, you, you, you, you got me
You got me crying overtime
[Verse 7]
Every night, girl, I cry to wash the hurt away
Feels so bad, I'll be crying overtime
Every night, girl, I cry to wash the hurt away
Feels so bad, I'll be crying overtime
Oh-whoa
