But I know better than believe in you

I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin'

You talk in circles and you laugh at sin
I think it's over then it starts again
I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin'


You say that you love me,
that you'd never leave me cryin'!
I keep on cryin'

Chorus:
Cry...cry

Oh mama save my soul,
say you won't hurt me no more
I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin'

You say that you need me,
that you'd never leave me cryin'!
I keep on cryin'

Chorus:
Cry...cry

You make it easy to cry
Oh mama save my soul, oh mama save my soul
Keep on cryin', keep on cryin', keep on cryin'

Chorus:
Cry
