       F
Ev'ry body knows where you go when the sun goes down.
                                  C7
I think you only live to see the lights uptown.
   F
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try.
        A#                                          C7         F
'Cause when the lights have lost their glow you'll cry, cry, cry.

Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you: "Bye, bye, bye!"
When I turn around and walk away, you'll cry, cry, cry

Chorus:
               F
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone.
     A#                               F
When ev'ryone's forgotten and you're left on your own
              C7         F
you're gonna cry, cry, cry.

I lie awake at night to wait 'til you come in
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry

When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you
Then you'll come back to me for a little love that's true
I'll tell you no and then you'll ask me: "Why, why, why?"
When I remind you of all of this, you'll cry, cry, cry
