Did You Ever Want to Cry — текст песни (The Mamas and the Papas)

(John Phillips)
Did you ever want to cry,
But you didnжЉ° know just why?
Did you ever sit up all night long
Just listening to that same old song---
The one they played when she said nothin?could go wrong?
Right, I know you did; oh, you kid---
Did you really think that sheжЉЋ be true?
WasnжЉ° that rather naive of you?
And now sheжЉЇ dropped you like a worn-out shoe.

SheжЉЇ got you drinking gin,
And you know thatжЉЇ a sin.
You go honky-tonkin` every night;
You get drunk and then you start a fight.
I know that you think that itжЉЇ alright---
Wrong, itжЉЇ not the way to live; you only get what you give!
You can live your life just as you please,
But, when you lie with dogs, you gotta get fleas.
And now sheжЉЇ brought you down to your knees.
Arms that used to hold you tight---
You miss them in the middle of night.
You burned a candle at both ends;
Now itжЉЇ too late...too late to make amends.
YouжЉіe even lost your old time friends...

Enemies glad to see you down;
People, they donжЉ° want you hangin?round.
Did you ever want to cry,
But you didnжЉ° know just why?
Right, I know you did.
Wrong, itжЉЇ not the way to live.
Did you ever want to cry...
