96 TEARS 

Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on

You`re way on top now since you left me
You´re always laughing way down at me
But watch out now, I`m gonna get there
We`ll be together for just a little while
And then I`m gonna put you way down here
And you`ll start crying ninety-six tears

And when the sun comes up, I`ll be on top
You`ll be right down there, looking up
And I might wave, come up here
But I don`t see you waving now
I`m way down here, wondering how
I`m gonna get you but I know now
I`ll just cry, cry, I`ll just cry

Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on

You´re gonna cry ninety-six tears
You´re gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now
You´re gonna cry, cry, cry, cry ninety-six tears

Come on and let me hear you cry, now, ninety-six tears, woo
I wanna hear you cry night and day, yeah, all night long
