YOU'VE GOT TO CRY GIRL
(Dave Dudley / Richard Barish)

Dave Dudley - 1972



 
Oh, you've got to cry girl
Then you'll know how I miss you
Well, I've grown up girl
I've learned how to be a man

I've cried tears, felt the pain
Have memories when you hurt me
But now look at me
I still know I can stand

Say, are you listenin' girl
Do you hear what I'm sayin'
And do you know girl
The reason that I walked out

Well, you're young right now
But tomorrow the world may find you
So learn from life
And find what love's about

Oh, you've gotta cry girl
Before you can be a woman
And you've gotta hurt girl
Before you will understand

You need tears and time
Sad memories to complete you
So I wish you
All the heartaches you can stand
