| Lyrics: | Well, I had to go down to see a guy named Mr. Goldsmith
Nasty, dirty, double-crossin',
back-stabbin' phony I didn't want to have to deal with
But I did it for you and all you gave me
was a smile
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry awhile
I don't carry dead
weight, I'm no flash in the pan
All right, I'll set you straight, can't you see I'm a union
man
I'm lettin' the cat out of the cage, I'm keepin' a low profile
Well, I cried for you,
now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Feel like a fightin' rooster, feel better than I
ever felt
But the Pennsylvania line's in an awful mess and the Denver road is a-goin' to
melt
I went to the Church house, everyday I go an extra mile
Well, I cry for you, now your
turn, you can cry awhile
Last night, 'cross the alley, there was a poundin' on the
wall
It must have been Don Pasquale makin' a 2 a.m. booty call
To break a trusted heart like
mine was just your style
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry awhile
I'm on
the fringes of the night fightin' back tears that I can't control
Some people they ain't human,
they ain't got no heart or soul
But I'm a-cryin' to the Lord, tryin' to be meek and
mild
Yes, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Well the preacher's
in the pulpit and the babiis in their cribs
I'm longin' for that sweet fat that sticks to your
ribs
I'm goin' t' buy me a barrel of whisky, I'll die before I turn senile
Yes, I cried for
you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Well, you bet on the horses, they ran the
wrong way
I always said you'd be sorry and today could be the day
I might need a good
lawyer, could be a fu |
