Sometimes She Cries

Mercy don't think she's pretty no more
Starin' at the stars through her back screen door
She tries and tries to make it all work out
No matter what she does
She's left standin' in the middle of doubt

In a lonely night
And in the pourin' rain
You can count on me

Sometimes she cries
When she's alone at night
Sometimes she weeps
When she's feelin' cold and weak
Sometimes the pain
It just tears her up inside
Sometimes she cries

Ooh, I wonder why?

Mercy don't have a lover no more
She plays with her pillow
Stares at the bedroom floor
Used to have a million
They've come and gone
No matter what she does
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong

In a lonely night
And in the pourin' rain
You can count on me

Sometimes she cries
When she's alone at night
Sometimes she weeps
When she's feelin' cold and weak
Sometimes the pain
Oh, it tears her up inside
Sometimes she cries
Ooh, yeah

Livin', lovin', give it everything you've got

After all the heartache
Maybe give love just one more shot, yeah!

In a lonely night
And in the pourin' rain
The only thing I really wanna know is why?

Sometimes she cries
When she's alone at night
Sometimes she weeps
When she's feelin cold and weak
Sometimes the pain
Oh, it tears her up inside
Sometimes she cries

When she's alone at night
Sometimes she weeps
When she's feelin cold and weak
Sometimes the pain
Oh, it tears her up inside
Sometimes she cries

Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
