River of Tears - Ben E. King

It seems that I just can’t win

I’ve been hurt time and time again

Every time I give my heart somebody tears it all apart

Through the years, lord knows I must have shed a river of tears

I tried to be fair in every way

I’d even ignored, yes, I have, things that people say

Oh, still I’m lonely and all alone

I’ve got no one I can call my own

Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears

A river of tears, oh, how I yearned, yeah

Tears that flow

Somebody tell me what I’m doing wrong

Isn’t there anyone I can depend on

Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears

A river of tears, oh, how I’ve yearned, yes, I have

Tears that flow' oh, how I’ve yearned

Talking 'bout' talkin' 'bout a river

Talkin' 'bout a river
