I don't know how to tell you,
but something went down last night
and this morning I finally got it right.
I've heard all your tear-stained stories
and learned to deliver up the same
I'll play the game.
Cry
Who taught you to cry?
Was she the reason why
you put on such a sorry show of tears?
They made me take you back for years
but don't apologize
just forgive me when I cry.
Remember that knockdown dragout
maybe Texas? or could have been Deluth
Was it the waitress, or that cowgirl flushed with youth?
Well, I'm confessin' an indiscretion
I figure you owe me more than one
I've had my fun.
Cry
Now you'll learn to cry
'cause you're the reason why
I put on such a sorry show of tears
They're limpid souvenirs
so you'll remember by and by
just who taught me how to cry.
