Some men keep their women in diamonds and pearls Others keep the ladies with soft pretty words But baby you do something, you been doin' for years I marvel at the way you just keep me in tears In tears, you just keep on breakin' my heart In tears, I never know when they're about to start Maybe someday I'll open my eyes and it will all be clear Why I love you and let you keep me in tears People say I'm lucky to be loved by you And I wouldn't deny it, but it's only half true The price that I pay for the love that I need Is knowing too soon just right where I'll be In tears, you just keep on breakin' my heart In tears, I never know when they're about to start Maybe someday I'll open my eyes and it will all be clear Why I love you and let you keep me in tears Maybe someday I'll open my eyes and it will all be clear
