If there is a tear on my face
It makes me shiver to the bones
It shakes me, Babe
It’s just a heartache that got in my eye
And you know I never cry ,I never cry
Sometimes I drink more than I need
Until the TV’s dead and gone
I may be lonely
But I’m never alone
And the night may pass me bay
But I’m never alone
And the night may pass me by
But I’ll never cry
Take away, take away my eyes
Sometimes I’d rather be blind
Break a heart, break a heart of stone
Open it up but don’t you leave it alone
‘Cuz that’s all I got to give you
Believe me Babe, it ain’t been used
My heart’s a virgin, it never been tried
And you know I’ll never cry
And you know I’ll never cry
And you know I’ll never cry
Never cry, I’ll never cry
Break a heart, break a heart of stone
Open it up but don’t you leave it alone
‘Cuz that’s all I got to give you
Believe me Babe, it ain’t been used
My heart’s a virgin, it never been tried
And you know I’ll never cry
Never cry
I’ll never cry
