Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
[Verse 2]
When you said you were leavin' tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow
That I'd laugh when you walked away
[Verse 3]
But a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
[Verse 4]
I said I'd laugh when you left me
Pull a funny as you went out the door
That I'd have another one waitin'
And I'd wave goodbye as you go
[Verse 5]
But a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
[Verse 6]
Everything went like I planned it
And I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it
Till you walked with your grip through the door
[Verse 7]
Then a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown though
But a little bitty tear let me down
A little bitty tear let me down
(A little bitty tear let me down)
