[Verse 1]
Sixteen, six strings, I could barely play it
Loved you but I didn't know just how to say it
Tailgate serenade I was nervous
Sweating Keith Whitley, but hey, I guess it worked, 'cause
Didn't even have to wonder what you thought
You said it best when you said nothing at all
Felt like a rockstar watching those happy tears fall (Hey)

[Chorus]
I love to make you cry
Know I hit the right emotion
When your eyes fill up with oceans
Girl I love to make you cry
Know I'm really onto something
When that mascara's running
Girl, I love to make you cry

[Verse 2]
Twenty-three, buying twenty-four carrots (Ooh)
Got that ring 'forе I even asked your parеnts
Bet I look crazy driving around gulf shores
Talking to a little black box on the dashboard
I admit it for a minute I was stressed
Gave me a hug but you forgot to say, "Yes"
But it was written on your cheeks
Girl, I didn't have to guess, that's the best

[Chorus]
I love to make you cry
Know I hit the right emotion (Hit the right emotion)
When your eyes fill up with oceans (Your eyes fill up with oceans)
Girl I love to make you cry
Know I'm really onto something (Really onto something)
When that mascara's running (Mascara's running)
Girl, I love to make you cry

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I love to make you cry, cry, cry
I ain't even gonna lie, lie, lie
I ain't gonna lie (Lie, lie, lie)
Girl, I love to make you cry

[Bridge]
And sometimes I want to run out of the room
'Cause when you do it, I can't help but do it too
Set the waterworks free, no shame on me
Let 'em know
[Chorus]
I love to make you cry
Know I hit the right emotion (Hit the right emotion)
When your eyes fill up with oceans (Your eyes fill up with oceans)
Girl I love to make you cry
Know I'm really onto something (Really onto something)
When that mascara's running (Mascara's running)
Girl, I love to make you cry (Girl, I love to make you cry)

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I love to make you cry, cry, cry (I ain't even gonna lie)
I ain't even gonna lie, lie, lie
I love to make you cry, cry, cry
Girl, I love to make you cry (Girl, I love to make you cry)
Yeah, I love to make you cry, cry, cry (I ain't even gonna lie)
I ain't even gonna lie, lie, lie
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
I love to make you cry, cry, cry

[Outro]
I love to make you cry
