Sometimes She Cries

Mercy don't think she's pretty no more

Starin' at the stars through her back screen door

She tries and tries to make it all work out

No matter what she does, she's left standin' in the middle of doubt

In a lonely night

And in the pourin' rain

You can count on me

Sometimes she cries

When she's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps

When she's feelin' cold and weak

Sometimes the pain

It just tears her up inside

Sometimes she cries

Ooh, I wonder why

Mercy don't have a lover no more

Plays with her pillow, stares at the bedroom floor

Used to have a million, they've come and gone

No matter what she does, she can't figure out what she's doin' wrong

In a lonely night

And in the pourin' rain

You can count on me

Sometimes she cries

When she's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps

When she's feelin' cold and weak

Sometimes the pain

Oh, it tears her up inside

Sometimes she cries

Ooh, yeah

Livin', lovin', givin' everything you've got

After all the heartache

Maybe give love just one more shot, yeah

In a lonely night

And in the pourin' rain

The only thing I really wanna know is why

Sometimes she cries

When she's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps

Oh, when she's feelin' cold and weak

Sometimes the pain

Oh, it tears her up inside

Sometimes she cries

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
