Why can't I cry Why won't I shed a tear My baby's gone She done left me Standing a here Is it because of the pain in my heart Won't let me cry For I deserve even war for the sins I've done Such a way to be tortured That I think I'd rather die Than be hurt with these pains Deep in my soul yeah Please emotion Won't you come on out, and let me cry Please emotion Won't you let the tears flow from eyes Woman done left me Tendin' and I'm all upset And I'll go crazy If you don't come on If you don't come on now and let me cry Why can't I cry (babe I cry) Why won't why I shed a tear (please let me cry) Please emotion
