I Cried for You - Jimmy Scott

I remember other days how I used to weep

Over things you said to me, I couldn’t even sleep

You forgot your promises, every single vow

All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now

I cried for you, now it’s your turn to cry over me

Every road has a turning, that’s one thing you’re learning

I cried for you, what a fool I used to be

Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer

I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you, now it’s your turn to cry over me

How can I forget the hours that I worried through

Wondering the live long day just what next thing to do?

In those days you never thought anything of me

But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free

I cried for you, now it’s your turn to cry over me

Every road has a turning, that’s one thing you’re learning

I cried for you, what a fool I used to be

Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer

I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you, now it’s your turn to cry over me
