Lyrics
YOU'RE GONNA CRY

You used to say that our love was alive
And that I was your only friend
But now you say that you're tired of tryin'
And that it's time our love should end
Well I've invested too much time in you
To just sit back and watch it die
So if your mind is set on doing this
Well then, you're gonna cry
I've got the power to be everywhere you are
'Cause I'm inside your soul
You can't shut off all the years that I've loved you babe
It's beyond control
Oh you may try to kiss another man
But when you look into his eyes
You'll see me smiling back at you
And then you're gonna cry
I see the future I'm sorry for you
Because it doesn't look too bright
You spend your life with one love then another
And you never get it right
And when you're old and gray and still alone
You'll see your life was just a lie
And you'll remember what I said today
And then you're gonna cry
You're gonna cry
You're gonna cry
You're gonna cry
