Baby, I paid my dues
Oh, got my crying, crying over you
And someday our ship will come
We're going to ride together ahead in a midnight sun
But until that day I'm just gonna cry and cry
Well, I don't like to feel alone
Somebody gotta fall in love

I've been walking someone in my shoes
You've gotta walking the floor baby I'll get over you
Everybody gotta cry and cry
Whenever there's some rain in my song
Seems like I've got so much water falling down
Somebody's plane has just come down
But you know it's alright I don't mind
Because my love for you is so strong

Baby, don't be so proud
Somebody's flame is just gone out
Well it's just my own heart
Rolling in these tears
that keep on falling from my eyes
After a storm comes a rainbow up in the sky
But it seems like all I've got is more grey clouds
And mama, you just keep on acting like a fool
But baby, if you can't get with me, baby, you just ain't 
cool
