The Temptations — I Couldnt Cry If I Wanted To
[Intro]
You ask if I remembered, when we first met
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget
[Verse 1]
There, you were standing there
Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair
Your beauty seemed to hypnotise me
I had that feeling I was no longer free
[Chorus]
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 cried over you
[Verse 2]
You had my heart dangling
Like a puppet on a string
To you I meant nothing, darling
But to me, it meant everything
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I don't know why I still love you
'Cause you don't even want me around
Year after year it's the same old thing
You build me up, to let me down
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
'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
[Outro]
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
