Young lovers say they know love is sure
Tell me how can they ever know that their love is pure
Through all the changes that we go through
Love seems so easy, but only when that love is so new

Through all the joy and laughter
One thing remains
There's got to be an understanding heart
At the end of every day

So when I'm crying, do you hear me
Or do you just turn away?
Oh, when I'm crying, don't dis me
We must communicate
When I'm crying, do you hear me
Or do you just turn away?
Oh, when I'm crying, don't dis me
I need you most that day

Honor your woman, fulfill her needs
Keep love a coming, it's got to be with sincerity
I'm momma's baby, one tender heart
So easily broken so don't you let me fall apart

With every sunny day
The rain must fall
The only thing that matters
Is that you're there when I call
So when I'm crying, do you hear me
Or do you just turn away?
Oh, when I'm crying, don't dis me
We must communicate
When I'm crying, do you hear me
Or do you just turn away?
Oh, when I'm crying, don't dis me
I need you most that day

Through all the joy and laughter, one thing remains
There's got to be an understanding heart at the end of every day
With every sunny day, I know the rain must fall
Well, the only thing that matters is that you're there when I call

So when I'm crying, do you hear me
Or do you just turn away?
Oh, when I'm crying, don't dis me
We must communicate
When I'm crying, do you hear me
Or do you just turn away?
Oh, when I'm crying, don't dis me
I need you most that day
