I Couldn`t Cry If I Wanted To — текст песни (The Temptations)

I COULDN`T CRY IF I WANTED TO
WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD, EDDIE HOLLAND

You ask if I remembered, when we first met.
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget
There, you were standing there. Aw, with ruby lips and the golden hair.
Your beauty seem to hypnotize me. I had that feeling I was no longer free.
But when I ask you for a dance. (For a dance)
You wouldn`t even give me a chance. (Me a chance)
And it hurt me through and through. That was the first time I got over you.
You had my heart dingling, Like a puppet on a string. To you I meant nothing, darling. But to me it meant everything.
Girl, you know since then through the years. (Through the years)
I`ve shed so many tears. (So many tears)
And all because of you, I couldn`t cry if I wanted to.
I don`t know why I still love you.
`Cause you don`t even want me around.
Year after year it`s the same o` thing.
You build me up, to let me down.
So go on and hurt me. (Hurt me)
Aw, like you did.
This time it`ll be different.
Mmm, my tears you`ll see no more.
`Cause I`ve cried so through the years. (Through the years)
Until I run out of tears. (Run out of tears)
And all because of you, I couldn`t cry if I wanted to.
I`ll never shed another tear.
I couldn`t cry no more, darling.
Seems as though the pain
Have gone the tears from my eyes.
Never cry, never.
Never no more.
I`ll never shed another tear.
