Cry, Cry, Cry

[Verse 1]

I know you been hurting

For a long time

Seems like another day

That never ends

Oh, those long nights

Without a lover, so fine

A lover, yes, but more than that

A true friend

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe they did things to hurt you

But baby, they don't deserve you

When all is said and done

A change is gonna come

[Chorus]

I need you to cry, cry, cry

A little bit longer

I need you to try, try, try

To get by whatever comes your way

I need you to cry, cry, cry

A little bit longer

Might feel like the long day of the soul

But tomorrow's a new day

[Verse 2]

I hope and pray you will remember

One day, it's gonna be alright

And oh, oh, your heartache

Ain't gonna' last for forever

After the midnight cry

Comes the morning light

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Baby you've been through the fire

But baby, you's a fighter

When all is said and done

A change is gonna come

[Chorus]

I need you to cry, cry, cry

A little bit longer

I need you to try, try, try

To get by whatever comes your way

I need you to cry, cry, cry

A little bit longer

Might feel like the long day of the soul

But tomorrow's a new day

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Maybe they did things to spite you

But only two wrongs make a right to fools

When all is said and done

Change is gonna come

Change is gonna

[Chorus 2]

If only you cry, cry, cry

A little bit longer now

I need you to try, try, try

To get by

I know you're suffering all day long

But I bet you now, it'll make you strong

If you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

[Outro]

Mmm yeah

Cry, yeah

Cry

Cry

Cry

Cry
