Song Lyrics

Oh yesterday I walked away
You left my way and now
You left me crying
Girl you left me crying

Gotta find my way through the downtown crowd
Hoping cars and buses will help
To drown this feeling
Such a lonely feeling
I'll have to do the best that I can
To stay away from the sound
When I roll over in bed to touch and you're not there
That's when it hurts the most

You left me crying
Girl you left me crying
You left me crying
Girl you left me crying

I told myself I was so strong
Can't let my friends know that
You left me crying
Girl you left me crying
What will I do when they all ask
Where are you and how come we're not sparring
At the big dance jamming?
I'm gonna tell them that you're on vacation
Or that your mama ain't feeling so well
Maybe I'll go a little bit overboard
And say that you're now with the Lord

You left me crying
Girl you left me crying
You left me crying
You left me crying

Now wherever you are my darling one
Take the strain off of me
Remember it's the same good old Beres
And me and you nah live so

Don't leave me crying
Don't leave me crying
Don't leave me crying, oh

Oh yesterday I walked away
You left my way and now
Today I'm crying
Girl you left me crying

What will I do when friends all ask
Where are you and how come we're not sparring
At the big dance jamming?
I'm gonna tell them that you're gone on vacation
Or that your mama ain't feeling so well
Maybe I'll go a little bit overboard
And say that you're now with the Lord

'Cause you left me crying
Girl you left me crying
Crying
You left me crying

Oh yesterday I walked away
Now today don't wanna be grey
I'm crying, girl you left me crying

Let's just take all the past and get it together, oh girl
Reminisce on all those lovely days, yes yes
Don't let me cry, girl
