I cried for you
Now it’s your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That’s one thing you’re learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I’ve found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I’ve found a heart
Just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it’s your turn to cry over me

Now it’s your turn to cry over me

Just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it’s your turn to cry over me

I cried for you
Now it’s your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
And that’s one thing you’re learning

Baby what a fool I used to be
But I’ve found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I’ve found a heart
Just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it’s your turn to cry over me
