Lyrics I'm Not Worth the Tears - Dolly Parton

I'm Not Worth the Tears

Mama didn’t always have those tears in her eyes
And daddy once was able to hold his head up high
But now I brought disgrace to my whole family
Now they cry, but I’m not worth
The tears they cry for me
I loved a boy and then I found that he just lead me on
So in my hurt and bitterness
I let myself go alone
But all I did was hurt myself
And shame my family
And now they cry but I’m not worth
The tears they cry for me
No I’m not worth
The salt in one tiny tear
Oh why have I brought shame
To the one I loved so dear
I’m so sorry that I hurt them
But they’ll never know how sorry
And now they cry but I’m not worth
The tears they cry for me
Yes now they cry, but I’m not worth
The tears they cry for me
