Lyrics:

(John Phillips)
Did you ever want to cry,
But you didn0 know just why?
Did you ever sit up all night long
Just listening to that same old song---
The one they played when she said nothin? Could go wrong?
Right, I know you did; oh, you kid---
Did you really think that she be true?
Wasn0 that rather naive of you?
And now she/ dropped you like a worn-out shoe.
She/ got you drinking gin,
And you know that/ a sin.
You go honky-tonkin' every night;
You get drunk and then you start a fight.
I know that you think that it/ alright---
Wrong, it/ not the way to live; you only get what you give!
You can live your life just as you please,
But, when you lie with dogs, you gotta get fleas.
And now she/ brought you down to your knees.
Arms that used to hold you tight---
You miss them in the middle of night.
You burned a candle at both ends;
Now it/ too late... Too late to make amends.
You3e even lost your old time friends...
Enemies glad to see you down;
People, they don0 want you hangin? Round.
Did you ever want to cry,
But you didn0 know just why?
Right, I know you did.
Wrong, it/ not the way to live.
Did you ever want to cry...
