Martha And The Vandellas - A Tear For The Girl Lyrics

Why, oh, why
Must those who love be left to cry
But if I cry now
I believe I'll feel better, better somehow

So I'll cry a tear for the girl
Who gave her love in vain
And it caused so much misery
I know, because that girl is me

And a tear for the boy
Who coldly crumbled her world
'Cause he, he couldn't be true
I know, because that boy is you

Might as well cry a tear for the loneliness
The loneliness that made me grieve
A tear for the happiness
Without you I'll never receive

Each tear that I cry helps me
Helps me forget you by and by
One day soon, if I cry long enough
My tears will fade you away
