WHY DO I CRY FOR JOEY?
(Ralph Freed / Grace Saxon / Rod Sherwood)

as recorded by Connie Stevens
1959


(Joey, Joey, Joey)

Why do I cry for Joey?
He doesn't care about me!
Why am I still in love with him?
Why can't my heart be free?

Why do I cry for Joey?
He doesn't know I'm alive!
If I must live without his love,
How will my heart survive?

To wait and wait for arms that never hold you
Can never bring you happiness that's real.
I listen to my friends who say I told you so,
But nothing seems to change the way I feel!

Why do I cry for Joey? (Joey)
He's still the one I adore!
Somebody new may love him too,
But I know I love Joey more!
(Joey, Joey, Joey)
