Lyrics
TEARS I CRY
How do I get through to you, as I shiver wrapped in fear
Just to let you know I'm hurting, by the one I love so dear
I really care for you and you could see it in my eyes
If you took the time to realize, it's for you these Tears I Cry
Playin' the fool in a love song, playin' the fool for you
Heartache always a breath away and that last kiss from you
Playin' the fool in a love song, is surely sad, but, true
'Cause, I cannot make you love me the way I want you to
How do I get through to you, understand the pain inside
It's written on my face, but, how can you see it through closed eyes
Is this more than you can handle, your feelings pass me by
The good times we share together are not the same, tonight
Playin' the fool in a love song, playin' the fool for you
Heartache always a breath away and that last kiss from you
Playin' the fool in a love song, is surely sad, but, true
'Cause, I cannot make you love me the way I want you to
Where do we go from here, do I continue to live a lie
If you'd take the time to realize, it's for you these Tears I Cry
-Harmony-
Playin' the fool in a love song, playin' the fool for you
Heartache always a breath away and that last kiss from you
Playin' the fool in a love song, is surely sad, but, true
'Cause, I cannot make you love me the way I want you to
