Parton, Dolly - The Salt In My Tears Lyrics






I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you
Gave you every bit of my time
Gave you everything I could possibly give you
My body, my heart, and my mind
I turned my family and good friends against me
Listened to my own heart break
And I did it all in the name of love
Gave up myself for your sake

And you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me
Over and over again
You promised to love me forever
But forever reached a bitter sweet end
Been blinded by love to your actions
But at last I can see my way clear
I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried
But you, you've never shed one tear

'Cause you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I ain't hangin' 'round here
You've left me crying, left me crying for years
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You never cared about me
You only hurt and decieve
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
No you ain't worth the salt in my tears

    @naeaman way to steal a song idea from Paul Whitman. Look up "There Ain't no Sweet Man That is Worth The Salt in My Tears" Paul Whitman Orchestra.

  62. R.... G....

    One of my first country songs I ever remember listening to as a child lol...gotta love Dolly

  63. n.... ....

    People from the 80's know because Martin Briley use to be a popular video on MTV back when they played music videos. And even though it was a one hit wonder it still came out 13 years before Dolly's. Now I'm not trying to completely dis Dolly, I do know that she is a classic artist with tons of hits. I'm just saying this idea wasn't original...

    n.... ....

    What are you talking about? Parton wrote this song.

    n.... ....

    The main lyric hook is the line, "You ain't worth the salt in my tears". Which is a direct match to the Martin Briley tune. Thematically, the songs are very similar. Musically, there isn't much resemblance. Not sure if Briley would have a case if he took it to court.

    n.... ....

    Doesn't matter! A lot of artists sing songs different than they were intended. They put their own spin on things you might say. Dolly is one of America's greatest artists that ever was or will be.

  64. J.... g....

    @naeaman and does anyone even know what that is,, does anyone even care? NOPE

  65. S.... G....

    i went and seen Dolly Parton in concert at DollyWood in Tenn it was awsome.i had a great time.

  66. P.... j....

    @naeaman same title......thats it........so what did she steal?

  67. n.... ....

    Way to steal a song idea from Martin Briley. Look up "Salt in My Tears Martin Briley"
