[Intro]
You ask if I remembered, when we first met
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget

[Verse 1]
There you were standing there
Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair
Your beauty seemed to hypnotise me
I had that feeling I was no longer free

[Chorus]
But when I ask you for a dance (For a dance)
You wouldn't even give me a chance (Me a chance)
And it hurt me through and through
That was the first time I cried over you (Cried over you)

[Verse 2]
You had my heart dangling
Like a puppet on a string
To you I meant nothing, darling
But to me, you meant everything

[Chorus]
Girl, you know since then through the years (Through the years)
I've shed so many tears (So many tears)
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to (Couldn't cry)
[Bridge]
I don't know why I still love you
'Cause you don't even want me around
Year after year, it's the same old thing
You build me up, to let me down

[Verse 3]
So go on and hurt me (Hurt me)
Aw, like you did before
This time it'll be different
Mmm, my tears you'll see no more

[Chorus]
'Cause I've cried so through the years (Through the years)
Until I run out of tears (Run out of tears)
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to (Couldn't cry if I wanted to)

[Outro]
I'll never shed another tear
I couldn't cry no more, darling (Couldn't cry if I wanted to)
(I couldn't cry if I wanted to)
Seems as though the pain
Have gone the tears from my eyes (Couldn't cry if I wanted to)
(I couldn't cry if I wanted to)
Never cry, never (Couldn't cry if I wanted to)
Never no more (I couldn't cry if I wanted to)
I'll never shed another tear (Couldn't cry if I wanted to)
