(Mark Erelli) You taught me everything I know 'bout being lonesome And I learned my lesson oh so faithfully What was I thinking of When I gave you my love For I knew you would go eventually I can't say you never gave me nothing After all you left me with the blues It ain't much but at least it's something I don't believe I will ever lose CHORUS Why should I cry over you sweet darlin' Why should I cry over you Give me one good reason I should be blue Why should I cry over you I'm all through feeling blue for you my darlin' 'Cause I know you would do the same for me I'm gonna walk right out the door Try to even up the score Two can play your game so easily I don't expect you'll ever come a callin' But should we chance to meet out on the avenue Don't be surprised if you don't see teardrops falling Darlin' why should I cry over you
