Cry Cry Cry

Story Behind The Song

A chance conversation overheard - no one is safe from the wandering songwriter is all I can say. I overheard this girl complaining to her friend about the boyfriend and it just had to become a song. I was ready to change the words so that Tony Quarrington could sing it, but he insisted I sing it. I agreed - provided he added some background vocals.

Lyrics

You make me laugh, laugh, laugh til I cry You make me cry, cry, cry through the night
You make me high, high, high as a kite
You make me feel so low, I could die You make me laugh, laugh, laugh... you make me cry, cry, cry....
I really wish you'd make up your mind about me
Verse 1
You tell me that you love me - then you have an affair
You come running back to me and say you still care
Why should I believe anything that you say?
You can't tell the truth for even one day
12 bar Instrumental Break
Verse2
You even called my sister - and you asked for a date
She told you get lost - and she called you fish bait
Her boy friend' is out lookin - you better run He's big and he's mad and he's got a gun

Closing Chorus
You made me laugh, laugh, laugh til I cried You made me cry, cry, cry, through the night You made me high, high, high as a kite You make me feel so low, I could die
You made me laugh, laugh, laugh you made me cry, cry, cry....
Tag I really wish you'd make up your mind about me ..... I really wish you'd make up your mind about me ..... I'm really glad I made up my mind about you
