0:10Did you ever want to cry
0:14But you didn't know just why
0:19Did you ever sit up all night long
0:24Just listening to that same old song
0:31The one they played when she said
0:34Nothin' could go wrong
0:36Right I know you did oh you kid
0:45Did you really think that she'd be true
0:50Wasn't that rather naive of you
0:57And now she'd dropped you
0:58Like a worn out shoe
1:02She's got you drinking gin
1:06And you know that's a sin
1:11You go honky tonkin' every night
1:16You get drunk and then you start a fight
1:22I know that you think that it's alright
1:27Wrong it's not the way to live
1:32You only get what you give
1:36You can live your life just as you please
1:41But when you lie with dogs
1:44You gotta get fleas
1:48And now she's brought you down
1:51To your knees
1:53Arms that used to hold you tight
1:57You miss them in the middle of night
2:02You burned a candle at both ends
2:07Now it's too late
2:10Too late to make amends
2:14You've even lost your old time friends
2:18Enemies glad to see you down
2:23People they don't want you hangin' 'round
2:27Did you ever want to cry
2:32But you didn't know just why
2:37Right I know you did
2:41Wrong it's not the way to live
2:46Did you ever want to cry
Did you ever want to cry But you didn't know just why Did you ever sit up all night long Just listening to that same old song The one they played when she said Nothin' could go wrong Right I know you did oh you kid Did you really think that she'd be true Wasn't that rather naive of you And now she'd dropped you Like a worn out shoe She's got you drinking gin And you know that's a sin You go honky tonkin' every night You get drunk and then you start a fight I know that you think that it's alright Wrong it's not the way to live You only get what you give You can live your life just as you please But when you lie with dogs You gotta get fleas And now she's brought you down To your knees Arms that used to hold you tight You miss them in the middle of night You burned a candle at both ends Now it's too late Too late to make amends You've even lost your old time friends Enemies glad to see you down People they don't want you hangin' 'round Did you ever want to cry But you didn't know just why Right I know you did Wrong it's not the way to live Did you ever want to cry
