Lick the Tears
Lyrics by Jerry Joseph

Little princess
lost her man
now she tries so hard to undestand
how someone who she wants to share her life
would bury her in superficial lies
now he's gone
so sad
what a sweet love
gone mad
and i want somebody to lay down by her side
wipe those bitter tears from her eyes
wipe those bitter tears

Tell me, Tell me now baby
Baby I cry
I'm so lonesome
Could die
And I never meant to make you feel so bad
No, you are the sweetest love I've ever had
Baby youre gone
Baby I'm sad
What a sweet love gone mad
Now I want someone to lay down by my side
Wipe those bitter tears from my eye
Yeah those bitter tears

Hey now baby, I cry
I'm so lonesome
I could die
I never knew a man could make you feel so bad
You know you were the sweetest love I've had
Baby youre gone
Baby I'm sad
What a sweet love gone mad
And I want somebody to lay down by my side
Wipe a bitter tear from my eye
Lick those bitter tears
Lick those bitter tears
Lick those bitter tears
