I cried all night just thinking of you
I wonder now what I'm gonna do
Since you left me for that friend of mine
Every second it's just driving me blind

 I cry 'cause my heart is in pain
I cry, though I know it's in vain
But knowing this, I cry all the same
I wake at night crying out your name

 You said that you'd never leave
Never leave, said that you are at ease
People talk about me behind my back
They don't understand it's your fashion I like

 People go around and whisper my name
They think it's a laugh 'cause I never complain
But to my face they are always the same
They don't understand it's a crying shame

 You said that you needed me
Exactly what for I find it hard to see
I've sat up all night wishing you were still mine
Now I understand there's better things to do with my time

 I cried because my heart was in pain
I cried, though I know it's in vain
But knowing this I cried all the same
I woke at night cryin' out your name

 I cried each night with tears in my eyes
I can't believe you are telling me lies
People go around whispering my name
But don't they know it's a crying shame?

 I cried because my heart was in pain
I cried, though I know it was in vain
But knowing this, I cried all the same
I woke at night cryin' out your name
