Intro Verse Sometimes happily ever ain’t always ever after You promised me forever then you ran off with a dancer Now it’s good to see you back here But I’m on to greener pastures And if you gotta cry, cry softly Cry softly, real quietly Your tears are unsightly There’s the front door, Bang softly If you gotta cry, cry softly Verse This ain’t the first time that you left me Remember Reno, Taos and Tempe Remember Carlsbad, El Paso and that second time in Tempe Yeah you’ve pulled a lot of fast ones But this last one is your last one And if you’ve gotta cry, cry softly Cry softly, real quietly Your tears are unsightly There’s the front door, Bang softly If you gotta cry, cry softly Break Verse I admit since you’ve been gone I’ve done my share of moving on There’s been a lot of warm embracing Vodka chasing vodka blondes Oh I gotta work all week And I need to get some sleep And if you gotta cry, cry softly Cry softly, real quietly Your tears are unsightly There’s the front door, Bang softly And if you gotta cry, cry If you gotta cry, cry If you gotta cry, cry softly Outro
