Yeah I'd like to tell you something all about the good and the bad
I wish today the world, my friends, would stop being sad
There's so much evil 'round us, I feel that I could die
and I know... yeah that I was born to cry
Well if I ever told you all about the things I have done
I can't remember having even one day of fun
I don't know what I'm doing, if I do it's a lie
but I know that i was born to cry
Yeah I cry
I said cry
I said cry
yeah I know that I was born to cry
I know some day, and maybe soon, the master will call
and when he does, I tell you something, I won't cry at all
Until it happens folks, I guess I'll sail with the tide
and I know that i was born to cry
Well every girl I ever loved, always stepped on my feet
I thought I had a friend once, but he kicked out my teeth
The things I like and wanna have, I can't even buy
but I know that I was born to cry
Yeah I cry
I said cry
oh yeah cry
oh yeah I know that I was born to cry
I know some day, and maybe soon, the master will call
and when he does, I tell you something, I won't cry at all
Until it happens folks, I'll sail with the tide
and I know... that I was born to cry.
