keep me cryin'

you keep me crying all the time

i have to say that you

keep me crying all the time

well

i tried to play my music

but my music was too loud

well

i pleased all the people

but i couldn't please the crowd

and i dropped down on my knees

and said

hey

mama

won't you clear my head

don't you know they

keep me crying all the time

they keep me crying all the time

oh

lord

don't you know they

they keep me moaning all the time

they keep me burning all the time

well

i tried

to run my business

but they said i can't

just keep it to myself

not bothering any man

just as sure as i try

cause my tears in my eye

don't you know they

keep me crying all the time

they keep me crying all the time

friends knocking in my door

they keep me crying

somebody calling on the phone and

they keep me crying.
