Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crying
Cryin' never did nobody no good, no how
No how
That's why I
I don't cry
That's why I
I don't cry
[Verse 2]
Laughing
Laughing sometimes does somebody some good, somehow
Somehow
That's why I
I'm laughing now
That's why I
I'm laughing now
[Verse 3]
Loving
Loving never did me no good, no how
No how
That's why I
Can love you now
That's why I
Can love you now
[Verse 4]
Lying
Lying never did nobody no good, no how
No how
So why am I
Lying now?
So why am I
Lying now?
