Sometimes She Cries

Mercy don't think she's pretty no more

Staring at the stars through her back screen door

She tries and tries to make it all work out

No matter what she does, she's left standing in the middle of doubt

In a lonely night

And in the pouring rain

You can count on me

Sometimes she cries when she's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps when she's feeling cold and weak

Sometimes the pain, it just tears her up inside

Sometimes she cries, ooh, I wonder why

Mercy don't have a lover no more

Plays with her pillow, stares at the bedroom floor

Used to have a million, they've come and gone

No matter what she does, she can't figure out what she's doing wrong

In a lonely night

And in the pouring rain

You can count on me

Sometimes she cries when she's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps when she's feeling cold and weak

Sometimes the pain, oh, it tears her up inside

Sometimes she cries, ooh yeah

Living, loving

Giving everything you've got

After all the heartache

Maybe give love just one more shot, yeah

In a lonely night

And in the pouring rain

You can count on me

Sometimes she cries when she's alone at night

Sometimes she weeps, oh, when she's feeling cold and weak

Sometimes the pain, oh, it tears her up inside

Sometimes she cries, oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
