For Cryin' Out Loud

(album: Southern Nights - 1977)

There we were in this old movie
We were watching actors play charades
We were playing right along as best we could
But I could see behind your shade

The plot was old and so familiar
People slugging it out for nickles and dimes
We had heard the same old story
So we made up our own lines

Hey honey, let's lose this crazy crowd
There's really no safety in numbers
I love your so for crying out loud
And I'm crying out loud
I love you so, oh-hoh-hoh-hoh

You look really like an angel
When you said stop running, it slows you down
But you were making conversation
That was making my heart frown

Hey honey, let's lose this crazy crowd
There's really no safety in numbers
I love you so for crying out loud
And I'm crying out loud
I love you so, oh-hoh-hoh-hoh

Honey, I'm a-crying out loud, I love you so
Hear me crying out loud, I love you so-ho
Ahhh-lahh-ahh-wahh-wahh...
