I know all there is to know,
about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses
Then there are sighs
And then before you know where you are,
you're saying goodbye
One day soon, I'm gonna tell the moon,
about the crying game
And if he knows, maybe he'll explain
Why there are heartaches
Why there are tears
And what to do, to stop feeling blue,
when love disappears
First there are kisses
Then there are sighs
And then before, you know where you are,
you're saying goodbye
Don't want no more, of the crying game
Don't want no more, of the crying game
Don't want no more, of the crying game
Don't want no more, of the crying game
Aaahhh
