Pretty lady,
Don't you cry
Not over a moron
Not over some faithless guy
He does not love you
So pretty lady,
Don't you cry
You should be smiling
Because he's not by your side
Pretty lady,
Please don't cry
It makes me feel bad to think
That while you're crying; you have pretty eyes
Pretty lady,
Don't you cry
Not over him,
He didn't even try
Not to make you smile,
Or to feel alive
So my pretty lady
If you cry
Cry over me
Because of how much I try
Cry because of me
Because no matter how much I try
I will never be good enough for you
And because I always hurt you
Cry because of me
Because I help you so much
And you dont think that you do enough
Because I still cry each night
Cry because of me
Because I've done so much
And you dont even THINK
That I could be your love.
But my pretty lady,
Please dont cry
Not over me,
Not over life
Because you're such a pretty lady
With such pretty eyes
Your tears are blocking the view
Of the beautiful sight
Not just my sight of your eyes
But your sight of what's right here
Perhaps that's why you're blind
And cannot see me through all those tears
So my pretty lady
Open those eyes
Look straight at me
And think
"She tries so hard
Just to give me this life..."
