No matter what you say babe
No matter what you do
The way you've been treating me woman
Is coming back home to you
Your crying won't help you, babe
No, your crying won't help you babe
No, your crying won't help you
'Cause you've been so mean to me
(Crying won't help you)

When you must remember baby
No matter where you go
Watch those seeds just scatter woman
And reap just what you sow
Your crying won't help you
No, your crying won't help you now
No, your crying won't help you baby
You've been so mean to me
(Crying won't help you)

[Guitar Solo]

When the way you've been treating me
I just can't understand
I'm gonna leave you woman
Do the best you can
(Crying won't help you)
I said crying won't help you baby
No, your crying won't help you
Now you've been so mean to me
[Organ Solo]

Yeah, before I leave, you woman
Before I shake your hand
I'm gonna get me a woman
Not to get your mad
Crying won't help you woman (Crying won't help you)
Said, crying won't help you baby (Crying won't help you)
You know, crying won't help you
'Cause you've been so mean to me

No

Crying won't help you
Crying won't help you
Crying won't help you
No, your crying won't help you
