When you said you loved me
Oh why did I cry?
When you kissed me softly
Oh why did I cry?
Each time we were together
I asked myself why
I cry (I cry), I cry (I cry)

When you said you want me
Oh why did I cry?
When you held me tightly
Oh why did I cry?
Each time we were together
I asked myself why
I cry (I cry), I cry (I cry)

Could it have been
That though we're in love
Our love can never be
Oh why do you
Have to belong to another
Oh what a tragedy

When you said you're leaving
Oh why did I cry?
When you walked away from me
Oh why did I cry?
When only the lonely
Have reason to cry
I cry (I cry), I cry (I cry)
