Why A Woman Cries

(album: Memphis - 1972)

He calls you from the office and he tells you that he's sorry
But it looks like he'll be working late again and he asks you how your day went
But he didn't say he missed you and he'd rather be home with you and the kids
Then suddenly the day has lost it's meaning and you find it hard to hold the tears inside
And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries

You ask him if he'd call you when he's working late again
But it's nine o'clock and still he hasn't called and the dinner fixed with special care
Is getting cold, and he's not there you wonder if he really cares at all
Another lonely night and he's not with you and you find it hard to hold the tears inside

And the tears begin to fall, and another day's gone by
As you dry the tears from your eyes, just another reason why a woman cries

Now you push aside the curtains and you're looking out the window
And the kids are playing with him in the yard, he takes you out occasionally
And once more you're a family and he thought about your birthday after all
It's then you know the reason why you love him and he'll never know the joy you feel inside
And all the tears you've cried, just a part of a woman's life, when a woman's happy inside
It's another reason why a woman cries, just another reason why a woman cries
