I wanna cry because I'm blue But I can't cry like others do I'd feel much better and I'd try Somebody, teach me how to cry I've been in love a time or two To lose a love is nothing new But every time my tears are dry Won't someone teach me how to cry? It may be that I'm too young To know the meaning of the blues If I could throw away the pride That's hidden deep inside The tears in my heart I could lose I wish someone would come along And make my life a happy song I'd weep and tell the blues goodbye Somebody, teach me how to cry It may be that I'm too young To know the meaning of the blues If I could throw away the pride That's hidden deep inside The tears in my heart I could lose I wish someone would come along And make my life a happy song I'd weep and tell the blues goodbye Somebody, teach me how to cry
