| I am a full grown fool and I shoulda known better
|
| But I tried and I tried and I could not forget her
|
| I would go back to her time after time
|
| Man I must have been out of my mind
|
| All of that cryin' for nothing
|
| All of that tryin' for nothing
|
| What has it ever got me
|
| What has it ever taught me
|
| I’ve got to keep believing
|
| In somethin' baby
|
| 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing
|
| Cryin' for nothin' at all
|
| Well we fought for love and we fought for trust
|
| And the whole blessed time it was right there in front of us
|
| We could not reach it and I don’t know why
|
| It took so long just to say goodbye
|
| All of that cryin' for nothing
|
| All of that tryin' for nothing
|
| What has it ever got me
|
| What has it ever taught me
|
| I’ve got to keep believing
|
| In somethin' baby
|
| 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing
|
| Cryin' for nothin' at all
|
| Well her friends all told her, mine told me
|
| But we would not listen, could not see
|
| Me and my pride, her and her dreams
|
| We never ever stood a chance it seems
|
| All of that cryin' for nothing
|
| All of that tryin' for nothing
|
| What has it ever got me
|
| What has it ever taught me
|
| I’ve got to keep believing
|
| In somethin' baby
|
| 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing
|
| Cryin' for nothin' at all
|
| 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing
|
| Cryin' for nothin' at all |
