I Just Wanted To Cry - Edwin Starr

Huh!

Oh, baby

Listen to me, girl

And let me tell you my story

Here’s how I felt when I saw you, girl

Coming down the street

You were a vision of loveliness

You were a pleasure for the eyes to see, oh baby

Then you walked a little closer

My heart began to skip a beat

I just couldn’t believe a girl as pretty as you

Could be so close to me

I just wanted to (Cry)

Oh, baby (Cry)

'Cause you were so fine, so fine, so fine

I just wanted to cry, cry, cry, cry, cry (Cry)

'Cause you were so fine, so fine, so fine (Cry)

I just wanted to hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

Oh, you won’t believe the rest, baby!

Then you were walkin' so close to me

I could almost touch you with my hand

And I feared that you would just walk on by

And I’d never see you again, oh baby

And then once it happened

And it took me by surprise

You know you froze just a moment

When you got close to me, girl

And when you winked your eye

I just wanted to (Cry)

Lord have mercy (Cry)

Lord have mercy cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry (Cry)

Lord have mercy, I just wanted to (Cry)

Fall on my knees and just break down and cry

I went hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

Hoo!

Listen, let me tell you, girl!

I tried to get myself together, go ahead

Just as fast as I could, listen baby

I searched in my mind for something to say

'Cause I, I knew it had to be good, oh baby (Yes I tried)

I finally got it together (Yes, I did)

And I was ready to shout

But when I opened my mouth

Lawd, nothing came out but

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

I, I, I, I wanted to cry

Woo hoo!

Ain’t no doubt in my mind, little girl

That a man ain’t supposed to cry (Cry, no, no, no, no)

But I’m here on my knees with tears in my eyes

Beggin', a-don't pass me by

I just wanted to cry

Hey (Cry)

Lawd, have mercy (Cry)

Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

Booboodoo woo wooo boo booo

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo

Booboodoo woo wooo boo booo

Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo
