You told me you don`t love me when you walked out the door
I stood there feelin lonely, then the tears began to pour
What else could I do, I`d never felt like that before
So I cried an ol blue river i the middle of the floor
Now I`m up to my ears in tears
I`m cryin night and day since you went away
The things you used to say, honey, I no longer hear
That water`s cold and clear, I`m drownin for you dear
Up to my ears in tears
Well I found some old love letters you wrote me years ago
But the words all ran together when the tears began to flow
Cause you left that water runnin, now it`s got nowhere to go
If I can`t wash away your memory guess I`ll just go under slow
Now I`m up to my ears in tears
I`m cryin night and day since you went away
The things you used to say, honey, I no longer hear
That water`s cold and clear, I`m drownin for you dear
Up to my ears in tears
The water`s cold and clear
I`m drowning for you, dear
Up to my ears in tears
