Lyrics I Couldn't Cry If I Wanted To - Eddie Holland

I Couldn't Cry If I Wanted To

You ask if I remembered, when we first met
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget
There, you were standing there.
Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair
Your beauty seem to hypnotize me.
I had that feeling I was no longer free
But when I ask you for a dance.
(For a dance)
You wouldn’t even give me a chance.
(Me a chance)
And it hurt me through and through.
That was the first time I got over you
You had my heart dingling, Like a puppet on a string.
To you I meant nothing,
darling.
But to me it meant everything
Girl, you know since then through the years.
(Through the years)
I’ve shed so many tears.
(So many tears)
And all because of you, I couldn’t cry if I wanted to
I don’t know why I still love you
'Cause you don’t even want me around
Year after year it’s the same o' thing
You build me up, to let me down
So go on and hurt me.
(Hurt me)
Aw, like you did
This time it’ll be different
Mmm, my tears you’ll see no more
'Cause I’ve cried so through the years.
(Through the years)
Until I run out of tears.
(Run out of tears)
And all because of you, I couldn’t cry if I wanted to
I’ll never shed another tear
I couldn’t cry no more, darling
Seems as though the pain
Have gone the tears from my eyes
Never cry, never
Never no more
I’ll never shed another tear
