every day i have to cry

there was a little girl i had planned to marry

this was my love

i didn't wanna share it

i thought that love would make my life bright and sunny

she said she couldn't love me 'cause i didn't have no money

so every day i have to cry some

every day i have to cry some

dry the water from my eyes some

every day i have to cry

i had me a girl

i guess i really loved her

every night i was thinkin' of her

but you can't mix love with money

'cause if you do it's gonna hurt somebody

so every day i have to cry some

every day i have to cry some

dry the water from my eyes some

every day i have to cry

and though i know that i'm just a poor man

is it wrong to love 'cause i'm not a rich man

every time you mix love with money

every time you hurt somebody

every day i have to cry some

every day i have to cry some

dry the water from my eyes some

every day i have to cry

every day i have to cry some

every day i have.
