 I cried  a tear because of you 
 I cried a tear because we're through 
 I cried a tear what else could I do 
 But cry and sigh for love of you 
  
 I felt a tear fall in my heart 
 You fooled me so I wasn't smart 
 I can't believe that we must part 
 Come back to stay let's make a new start 
  
 Music interlude 
  
 I cried a tear because of you 
 I cried a tear because we're through 
 Please make my dream of you come true 
 Don't make me cry a tear for you 
 Don't make me cry a tear for you
