teardrops will fall

john mellencamp

i read your letter

darling

tears filled my eyes

all of your promises you made

were nothing but lies

so i turned your photograph over

face to the wall

and when i dim the lights in my room tonight

teardrops will fall

teardrops will fall tonight

tears i can't hide

tears that i'd rather keep

deep down inside

tears fall and love is gone

beyond these walls

and when i dim the lights in my room tonight

teardrops will fall

i'm gonna pray tonight

baby

hoping you will hear

and maybe you'll right

all those wrongs

and dry each tear

i'll sit alone tonight

hopin' you will call

and when i dim the lights in my room tonight

teardrops will fall

teardrops will fall tonight

tears i can't hide

tears that i'd rather keep

deep down inside

tears fall and love is gone

beyond these walls

and when i dim the lights in my room tonight

teardrops will fall

teardrops will fall tonight

tears i can't hide

tears that i'd rather keep

deep down inside

tears fall and love is gone

beyond these walls

and when i dim the lights in my room tonight

teardrops will fall
