I sat bored at my piano 

When he walked into the bar 

When he nodded from his table 

I said I know just how things are 

Cause the only time I see you 

Is when you've made your lady cry 

And you always say you'll only stay 

Till all her tears are dry 



Now for months I've watched you wrestle 

With that other side of you 

You're scared one day you'll lose your temper 

Yes and then you'll lose her too 

Oh they say that love is brutal 

And for years she's paid the price 

It might be too late you best not wait 

Till all her tears are dry 



You better run to her and fall on your knees 

Swear that you'll be the man 

She's wanted you to be 

Then by the grace of God 

She'll let you lay there by her side 

And hold her gently 

Till all her tears are dry 



You better run to her and fall on your knees 

Swear that you'll be the man 

She's wanted you to be 

Then by the grace of God 

She'll let you lay there by her side 

And hold her gently 

Till all her tears are dry 



Hold her gently 

Till all her tears are dry
