The Oak Ridge Boys - If I Was To Start Crying lyrics
[The Oak Ridge Boys - If I Was To Start Crying lyrics]
I sent you candy and a dozen roses
I put my heart into a card three pages long
And now here I sit waiting
Getting over that Moses
For the answer I've been fearing all along
Now I knew there were wicked
Women in the city
Who scattered shattered dreams like fools
Gold on the ground
I just didn't know that they
Would be so heartbreak pretty
Or that one single icy laugh
Could cut me down
Because I've always tried to keep my pride
There's one last desperation measure
I haven't tried if I was to start crying
Show my innermost feelings
If I was to break down on my
Bended knees and just plead my case
Would it thaw your frozen heart a little?
Would you show some compassion?
Would you only feel pity and then
Compelled to turn me away
Would you only feel pity and turn me away
My walls catch all my anger
Your satin perfumed pillows catch my tears
Oh how I wish tonight that
I could be that stranger
Whose hearing all your same old
Lies through brand new ears
Because I've always tried to keep my pride
There's one last desperation measure
I haven't tried if I was to start crying
Show my innermost feelings
If I was to break down on my
Bended knees and just plead my case
Would it thaw your frozen heart a little?
Would you show some compassion?
Would you only feel pity and then
Compelled to turn me away
Would you only feel pity and turn me away
Would you only feel pity and
Send me on my way
I put my heart into a card three pages long
And now here I sit waiting
Getting over that Moses
For the answer I've been fearing all along
Now I knew there were wicked
Women in the city
Who scattered shattered dreams like fools
Gold on the ground
I just didn't know that they
Would be so heartbreak pretty
Or that one single icy laugh
Could cut me down
Because I've always tried to keep my pride
There's one last desperation measure
I haven't tried if I was to start crying
Show my innermost feelings
If I was to break down on my
Bended knees and just plead my case
Would it thaw your frozen heart a little?
Would you show some compassion?
Would you only feel pity and then
Compelled to turn me away
Would you only feel pity and turn me away
My walls catch all my anger
Your satin perfumed pillows catch my tears
Oh how I wish tonight that
I could be that stranger
Whose hearing all your same old
Lies through brand new ears
Because I've always tried to keep my pride
There's one last desperation measure
I haven't tried if I was to start crying
Show my innermost feelings
If I was to break down on my
Bended knees and just plead my case
Would it thaw your frozen heart a little?
Would you show some compassion?
Would you only feel pity and then
Compelled to turn me away
Would you only feel pity and turn me away
Would you only feel pity and
Send me on my way
