You tell me stories that I wish were true. But I know better than believe in you.
I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin.
You talk in circles and you laugh at sin. I think it's over then it starts again.
I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin.

You say that you love me, that you'd never leave me cryin'! I keep on cryin'.
Cry...cry....

Oh mama save my soul, say you won't hurt me no more.
I keep on cryin', I keep on cryin.

You say that you need me, that you'd never leave me cryin'! I keep on cryin'.
Cry...cry.... You make it easy to cry.

Oh mama save my soul, oh mama save my soul.
Keep on cryin', keep on cryin', keep on cryin', cry....
