Why Are You Crying

(album: The Flying Burrito Bros - 1971)

Why are you crying and what can I do
It's not so easy
Just watching you cry all alone
Can you tell me what's wrong
And if you think it might help
I can bring my guitar
And sing you a song

I know love's made a fool of others
And I know love's made a fool of me
Try to answer questions that
You never even asked of me
I know you've been left in doubt
By the things that you not sure about
Well, I can say I've been there too
And maybe we can both find out
If you will tell me

Why are you crying and what can I do
It's not so easy
Just watching you cry all alone
Can you tell me what's wrong
And if you think it might help
I can bring my guitar
And sing you a song

You say there's no way I can help
And in the end that might be true
But you never know until you try
And that's all I've asked of you
And I can see you have your secrets
And that's all right I have mine too
But you should always share your troubles
Makes it that much easier on you

Why are you crying and what I can do
It's not so easy
Just watching you cry all alone
Can you tell me what's wrong
And if you think it might help
I can bring my guitar
And sing you a song
