I Couldn't Cry If I Wanted To - Eddie Holland

You ask if I remembered, when we first met

Girl, tell me how could I ever forget

There, you were standing there.

Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair

Your beauty seem to hypnotize me.

I had that feeling I was no longer free

But when I ask you for a dance.

(For a dance)

You wouldn’t even give me a chance.

(Me a chance)

And it hurt me through and through.

That was the first time I got over you

You had my heart dingling, Like a puppet on a string.

To you I meant nothing,

darling.

But to me it meant everything

Girl, you know since then through the years.

(Through the years)

I’ve shed so many tears.

(So many tears)

And all because of you, I couldn’t cry if I wanted to

I don’t know why I still love you

'Cause you don’t even want me around

Year after year it’s the same o' thing

You build me up, to let me down

So go on and hurt me.

(Hurt me)

Aw, like you did

This time it’ll be different

Mmm, my tears you’ll see no more

'Cause I’ve cried so through the years.

(Through the years)

Until I run out of tears.

(Run out of tears)

And all because of you, I couldn’t cry if I wanted to

I’ll never shed another tear

I couldn’t cry no more, darling

Seems as though the pain

Have gone the tears from my eyes

Never cry, never

Never no more

I’ll never shed another tear
