It’s all over but the cryin’ Hard but fair ain't no denying Freedom ain’t so satisfying It’s all over but the cryin’
You throw yourself in your work Run around acting like a jerk Go drink with folks that you barely know Put the word out on the street the guys that every girl that you meet That you're ready and willing to go Well they catch you late at night You’ll be sleeping with the light Left on Out in the hall Don’t say it don’t bother you at all
It’s all over but the cryin’ Hard but fair ain't no denying Freedom ain’t so satisfying It’s all over but the cryin’
Try not to think about it much Go hit the usual spots for lunch You're home to the places you used to go Try not to take it hard Get yourself a library card and learn something you don’t already know Tryin' to keep up your chin Don’t try to bury love in sin man Pick yourself up Try not to fall Don’t say it don’t bother you at all
It’s all over but the cryin’ Hard but fair ain't no denying Freedom ain’t so satisfying It’s all over but the cryin’
It’s all over but the cryin’ Now she’s gone man ain't no denying Ain’t satisfying It’s all over but the cryin’
