(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
Being hurt by the one you love
It`s a feeling that`s hard to hide
But you don`t seem to understand why
When I`m alone I sit and cry
Ask any girl
Who`s often left alone
All by herself
Neglectfully pushed aside
Set aside like a doll on a shelf
Just ask any girl
Ooh, and you`ll understand why
I sit and cry
Ask any girl
Who knows the fear of losing
Someone dear
And she`ll say the same thing
It hurts you deep
Makes it hard to sleep
Don`t take my word
Ask any girl
Then you`ll understand why
I sit and cry
Ask any girl
Who receives no loving affection
And she`ll feel as I feel
It`s heartaches by the number
Many nights without slumber
Ask any girl
Ooh, and then you`ll know why
I sit and cry
I sit and cry
