The Marvelettes — Too Many Tears Too Many Times

[Intro] (Too many tears) [Verse 1] So many lonely nights (Too many times) I've waited here all alone Thinking you would write Maybe you will telephone [Pre-Chorus] I was blind not to see The loneliness in store for me All those sweet things that you said Must be something that you read [Chorus] So completely you deceived me I never thought that you would leave me to shed Too many tears (Too many tears) Too many times (Too many times) (Hey, hey, hey) [Verse 2] Now, here you stand (Too many times) Telling me that you'll return Little do you know How my broken heart has yearned [Pre-Chorus] When just one lie was said by love You didn't take the time Now you think that just your kiss Will ease my tortured mind [Chorus] But it's too late, I'm through trying 'Cause I'm sick and tired of crying I've cried too many tears (Too many tears) Too many times (Hey, hey, hey) And it's all over [Bridge] (Too many tears Hey, hey, hey Too many times) [Verse 3] There was a time when it hurt me That our love had gone astray But now I've got myself together (Yeah, yeah) So be on your merry way [Chorus] I promise you, my friend You'll never break my heart again 'Cause I've cried too many tears (Too many tears) Too many times (Hey, hey, hey) Too many tears (Too many tears) I've cried and I've cried (Hey, hey, hey) Too many times (Too many times) I've tried and I've tried (Hey, hey, hey) Too many tears (Too many tears) I've cried
