Lyrics

I should have known better not to fall like I do.
I should have known better with a woman like you.
There was a time when I could take this in stride—
Now these tears just don’t dry.
Now these tears just don’t dry.

I shouldn’t sit waitin’ for that telephone to ring.
The day turns into night and I don’t hear a thing.
There was a time when I could take this in stride—
Now these tears just don’t dry.
Now these tears just don’t dry.

So if you should let me down,
Let me down so gently, to the ground.
And if you should say goodbye,
Give me one last look
And one last kiss goodbye.

I could’ve felt different if I’d thought ‘bout it long.
But you know that would have been a lie after all.
There was a time when I could take this in stride—
Now these tears just don’t dry.
Now these tears just don’t dry.

So if you should let me down,
Let me down so gently, to the ground.
And if you should say goodbye,
Give me one last look
And one last kiss goodbye.

I should have known better not to fall like I do.
I should have known better with a woman like you.
There was a time when I could take this in stride—
Now these tears just don’t dry.
Now these tears just don’t dry.
