Cry Like a Rainy Day

Greg Barnhill, Kenny Greenberg

[Verse 1]
How many tears now, darling
Must a girl let fall
How many years will it take
To forgive me for it all
You see when I took you for granted
I knew not just what I'd done
I was a fool not to see
That you were the perfect one

[Pre-Chorus]
I made some wrong moves
I won't deny
Went looking for love
When it was right before my eyes
So now don't go and tell me
That you found somebody new
I tell you it's gonna hurt me
More than I could ever hurt you

[Chorus]
I'm gonna cry, cry like a rainy day
It's just that I don't wanna see
A good thing slip away
Late at night that's when I, I hope and pray
These lonely tears will wash the pain away
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry like a rainy day
Cry like a rainy day

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna get it together
Gonna try to make you understand
Wrote it all down in a letter
From one woman to a man

[Pre-Chorus]
Remember these arms
How they held you then
Mark my words
It's gonna be that way again
Give me one more chance
I swear to God I'll be true
Don't walk away
Now I'll never, never make it without you

[Chorus]
I'm gonna cry like a rainy day
It's just that I don't wanna see
A good thing slip away
Late at night that's when I, I hope and pray
These lonely tears will wash the pain away
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry like a rainy day

[Outro]
I'm gonna cry, cry like a rainy day
I'm gonna cry, cry
