PICK UP YOUR TEARS
Blair / Stryker

as rec by The Four Freshmen  
Dec 14th 1950 Los Angeles


Pick up your tears,
Pick up your tears,
Pick up your tears and go home!
Pick up your lies,
Your alibis,
What good will they be when you're all alone?

You sang your song,
Sang it all wrong,
Not even one note was true!
You bartered your bread,
Broke your own heart instead,
So pick up your tears and go home!

Pick up!
Pick up your tears,
Pick up your tears,
Pick up your tears and go home!
Pick up your lies,
Your alibis,
What good will they be when you're all alone?

You sang your song,
Sang it all wrong,
Not even one note was true!
You bartered your bread,
Broke your own heart instead,
So pick up your tears and go home!
