YOU'RE THE ONLY GIRL THAT MADE ME CRY
(Fred Fisher)


Henry Burr - 1920





I never thought a girl could come along
And worry me the way you do
I used to tell them all to run along
But what a fool I've been since I met you

Now, I've met girls who nearly drove me crazy
And I've met girls who had me feeling blue
I met a few who had me guessing, and I am confessing
Almost broke my heart in two

I met a girl who made me think she loved me
I thought I'd die the day she said goodbye
But of all the girls, the many girls I ever met
You're the only girl that made me cry

All women say a man must have no heart
That he looks foolish when he cries
That he should laugh at every knock he gets
And never get a tear or he will die

Now, I've met girls who nearly drove me crazy
And I've met girls who had me feeling blue
I met a few who had me guessing, and I am confessing
Almost broke my heart in two

I know just one that I will love forever
I can't forget the day we said goodbye
There is just one girl I love the best
My Mother dear is the only girl that made me cry
